Sad news indeed I saw Toots and the Maytals a few years ago at Beautiful Days and they were superb. RIP big man.

 

[Comrade Sam]

After Otis the greatest voice the world has ever heard!

 

[Gwylan]

Nooooooooo

I saw him a few years back and he was still in fine voice (and he was about 70 then)

What a trail of fine songs he's left behind him

Rest in peace, perfect peace

RIP

One of the first ska albums I bought Which wasn't a compilation was Toots & the Maytals.

Great band, and as has been said, still good now, saw them at the Dome a few years back

Saw him at Brixton Academy a few years back, Keef Richards joined them on stage for the encore.

Had tickets for the tour next year.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Sad news. Some great old tunes and was really happy new stuff was coming out. Seems like only yesterday I was listening to him being interviewed on 6 Music but in reality it must have been before lockdown

Legend. RIP.

 

[CHAPPERS]

They were due to play a farewell tour this year including an all day party at the de la warr. Shame.

 

[Ecosse Exile]

RIP Toots, will be sorely missed.

 

[Deleted member 37369]

Was aware he had been poorly and was in hospital ... was so looking forward to this gig and hoping it would be rearranged

RIP Toots ...

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

RIP.

This album was rarely of our turnable in my second year at uni. And this is an example of a cover that utterly spanks the original:

[Questions]

RIP Toots ...... some absolute belters in his catalogue.

Can anyone listen to Monkey man without wanting to move..

 

[Monkey Man]

Sad news. Some great old tunes and was really happy new stuff was coming out. Seems like only yesterday I was listening to him being interviewed on 6 Music but in reality it must have been before lockdown

He was interviewed by Mark Radcliffe very recently – it was played last weekend, and Toots was promoting the new album.

It was quite a funny interview because Toots was a bit short with his answers and MR had to do a lot of filling-in. But Toots came across well regardless.

Funky Kingston is a regular on playlists in our house. A track that never seems to age.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

The classic!



RIP Toots

 

[studio150]

Like many other posters I saw him live a few years ago, and it was still a good night out.

RIP

 

[Wardy's twin]
