The Maytals,
known from 1972 to 2020 as Toots and the Maytals, are a Jamaican musical group,
one of the best known ska and rocksteady vocal groups. The Maytals were
formed in the early 1960s and were key figures in popularizing reggae
music.
Frontman Toots Hibbert, who died in 2020, was considered a reggae
pioneer on par with Bob Marley. His soulful vocal style was compared to Otis Redding, and led him to be named by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Singers. After
Hibbert's death, the Maytals indicated that they would continue as a working
group.
Their 1968
single "Do the Reggay" was the first song to use the word "reggae", coining the name of the genre and introducing
it to a global audience. The Oxford English Dictionary
credits Toots and the Maytals in the etymology of the word
"Reggae". According to Island Records founder Chris Blackwell "The Maytals were unlike
anything else ... sensational, raw and dynamic."
Reggae Got
Soul is an album by the Jamaican reggae
group Toots
and the Maytals,
released in July 1976 by Island Records.
