Toots & The Maytals - Monkey Man

[redredreds100]

A message to you aging teds and rockers, I may get so back into this, and put on my doc martins and come out and kick your asses, like i did at Southend and Brighton.

[drumcorps0junkie]

badass

[GoblinJuiceII]

ahhh I am glad the quality isn't the best as it means the bass is loud. Perfect for helping me learn the bass part to it... It is more complex live than on the origional version, but I like it this way!

[lbgrob13]

I was there :) first concert for my oldest son...they stayed at same hotel...and we got to talk to the entire band for a while... when the bus pulled in they just hung out and chatted ... greattimes.

[boldyin]

the specials as they are the only artists worthy of covering this?

[hmg28]

this was written by toots and the maytals from the early 60's//all these other people gave their own rendition, but please give credit where it is due//toots hibbert is a very talented singer/songwriter//

[dxhty]

[Adamguy2003]

I'm not really a reggae fan, but I've loved this song 'Monkeyman' ever since I first heard it used on an episode of 'The Lone Gunmen.' It's just such a fun song, good to dance to.

[maggarlion]

Listen man you have to love reggae. LOL Peace and Love

[sirrudeboy]

heeey, what venue is this? I've seen him twice when he came to Charleston, SC at the Music Farm.

[adjet]

toots & the maytals what can i say , one of the best hard working orinal reggae artists to emerge from the surface of the earth

[Marshswing]

[Gabester309]

Yea one of mine as well. One of the first bass lines I learned.
