Toots & The Maytals, The Gladiators & Droop Lion

Just how important is Toots Hibbert to the history of reggae? The 76-year-old is responsible for giving the genre its name via his 1968 single “Do The Reggay,” that’s how. Before and after that tune was released, Hibbert has firmed up his legacy as one of the building blocks of this Jamaican-born music through tunes like “Pressure Drop,” “54-46 Was My Number,” and his soulful take on John Denver’s “Country Road.” He’s nothing short of a legend and should be greeted as such when he hits the Rev Hall stage on Friday night.
