Toots & The Maytals Booking Agency Profile

Book Toots & The Maytals for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Toots and the Maytels' combination of great reggae rhythms, heartfelt vocals, and soulful gospel influence remains potent and powerful - probably the most cohesive mix of reggae and soul music ever, and still going strong with generations of fans. Current record holders of the most number one hits in Jamaica, their sound is a unique, original combination of gospel, ska, soul, reggae and rock. Frederick Toots" Hibbert, the leader of the group, was born in May Pen in the Parish of Clarendon, Jamaica. He formed the group, and they recorded their first album, Never Grow Old - presenting the Maytals, for producer Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at Studio One. The Maytals' close-harmony gospel singing ensured instant success for the release, overshadowing Dodd's other up-and-coming gospel trio, The Wailers. Their collaboration with Chinese-Jamaican producer Leslie Kong produced three classic albums and a string of hits throughout the late sixties and early seventies - "Do the Reggay", a single widely credited with coining the word reggae, "Pressure Drop", "54-46 was my number" and "Monkey Man", the group's first international hit. The group was featured in one of reggae's greatest breakthrough events - The Harder They Come, the film and soundtrack starring Jimmy Cliff, named as one of Vanity Fair's Top 10 Best Soundtracks of all time. Following Kong's death, they continued to record with Kong's former sound engineer, Warwick Lyn; produced by Lyn and Chris Blackwell of Island Records, the group released three best-selling albums, and enjoyed international hits with Funky Kingston and Reggae Got Soul. Toots and the Maytals' compositions were given a second airing in 1978-80 during the reggae-punk and ska revival period in the UK, when The Specials included "Monkey Man" on their debut album and The Clash produced their version of "Pressure Drop". Sublime recorded cover versions of some Maytals songs as well. The band has been nominated for has been nominated for five Grammy Awards, winning one for Best Reggae Album of the Year with True Love. .
