Jamaican vocal group formed in the early 1960s and led by Frederick 'Toots' Hibbert; influential across ska, rocksteady and reggae.

The group (originally The Maytals) is credited with major contributions to ska, rocksteady and reggae; Toots Hibbert is associated with early popularization of the word 'reggae' via the 1968 song "Do the Reggay."

Two DeBaser reviews cover both a 1969 studio album (Sweet and Dandy) and a 2005 live show in Barcelona. Reviewers highlight classic songs such as "Pressure Drop", "54-46 (That's My Number)" and "Funky Kingston", praising the band's energy and cultural importance. The live review emphasizes Toots's charismatic stage presence and the audience's enthusiastic response.

For:Fans of ska and reggae, listeners interested in Jamaican music history and live concert reports.

 Toots and the Maytals (initially just The Maytals), are among the greatest, the most prolific, and the most everything in this genre.
