Toots and The Maytals, originally called simply The Maytals, are one of the best known ska and reggae vocal groups. Their sound is a unique, original combination of gospel, ska, soul, reggae and rock. For those who've always wondered what "Maytal" means: it is Hebrew for "dew water". Thus, the name of the group can be loosely translated as Toots & the Dew Drops. Frederick "Toots" Hibbert, the leader of the group, was born in May Pen, Clarendon, Jamaica. He was the youngest of seven children.
