Toots Hibbert – The Maytals Dies 77

Frederick Nathaniel “Toots” Hibbert, OJ (8 December 1942 – 11 September 2020.

The world is shocked as it is learned that the great Toots lead singer of the Maytals has passed away. This has a personal connection to me because my late father adored Toots & the Maytals and I become the owner of my fathers record collection. I have been a DJ for 50 years and I can say that toots & the Maytals music starred on my record player in a very sweet era when LOVE TKO took centre stage of many dances. 5446, pressure drop, time tough & Monkey Man rang out of my speakers to the adoring crowd singing the words.

Toots was a very active performer. everywhere he played were sell out shows, he loved his craft.
