The Maytals – From The Roots

Toots Hibbert, Henry "Raleigh" Gordon and Nathaniel "Jerry" Mathias formed The Maytals in 1962. The Jamaican musicians became one of the most famous ska and rocksteady vocal groups and contributed to the popularization of reggae music in the sixties. Their 1968 single "Do The Reggay" was the first song to use the word "reggae," leading the Oxford English Dictionary to credit Toots and The Maytals for the etymology of the word "reggae."
