54-46 Was My Number
Toots is fantastic
If I ever need cheering up I cant think of any music more likely to put a smile back on my chops than a Maytals best of. Pure sunshine in musical form :)
Such a brilliant, soulful vocalist as well. Picking a favourite song is nigh on impossible, today I'm gonna say Bla Bla Bla
Gonna be listening to them all afternoon now lol
man this version of Never You Change

SING IT Toots my son. So good
Funky Kingston, fo' sure.
Saw them live a couple of years back. Was a lot of fun. His voice is awesome.
Me too
Thing I remember most is my best mate who's not normally inclined to outpourings of emotion in any way at all being in tears throughout the entire thing (he had had a really heavy weekend, but still!)
54-46 Was My Number must be one of the 20th Century's best tunes
Pressure Drop is another big one not mentioned already.
The early ska stuff he recorded with the Skatalites for Studio One is amazing too but gets kind of overshadowed by the later, bigger tunes.
Amazing, amazing vocalist. So emotive and distinctive. Actually staggering how many incredible singers Jamaica has produced given its population of less than 3 million and Toots is one of the best ever
Love Toots
saw him at shepherds bush, the crowd was sadly full of dickheads constantly chatting
