The story behind the song

Toots and The Maytals were key figures in popularizing reggae music globally, known for their raw, dynamic sound and frontman Toots Hibbert's powerful vocals. Their influence was so great that their 1968 single "Do the Reggay" is credited with coining the name of the genre itself. This song, appearing on the Funky Kingston album, embodies the group's foundational sound. Playing it is to tap into the foundational spirit of reggae music.
