About Toots Hibbert

Frontman of Toots & the Maytals, Toots Hibbert is often credited with coining the word 'reggae' in the 1968 song 'Do the Reggay.' His raw, gospel-influenced vocal power and explosive energy made him one of Jamaica's greatest performers, equally at home in ska, rocksteady, and reggae.
