Frederick "Toots" Hibbert, together with Nathaniel "Jerry" Matthias, and Henry "Raleigh" Gordon, formed The Maytals in 1962, they soon became very popular as a vocal harmony band.

'Sir Coxsone' Dodd, Prince Buster, Byron Lee, Leslie Kong, Chis Blackwell, Sly & Robbie....amongst many others. In 1968 Toots is credited with creating the name 'reggae', the word describing the sound and tempo of the riff the guitar plays.
With twigs of funk, rock, and soul, within the branches of the blues, gospel, and folk,
yet 'budded', and uniquely 'ripened', to fruit Jamaican Reggae...
Toots and the Maytals are a foundation to the history of Jamaican music.
