Album Notes
Personnel: Toots Hibbert (vocals); Rad Bryan, Hux Brown (guitar); Ansell Collins (piano); Winston Wright (organ); Ranchy McLean (bass); Paul Douglas (drums); Jerry Mathias, Raleigh Gordon (background vocals).
Heavily influenced by such American soul and R&B singers as Otis Redding and Clyde McPhatter, Frederick "Toots" Hibbert has one of the all-time great voices in reggae. With his backing vocalists the Maytals-Nathaniel "Jerry" Matthias and Ralphus "Raleigh" Gordon-Toots has remained an original and distinctive voice in Jamaican music since the ska era, when the single "54-46 (Was My Number)" was an influential hit. In fact, Toots and the Maytals are so important to reggae that their 1968 single "Do The Reggay" is the first recorded use of the term!
This classic 1979 album captures Toots and the Maytals at the peak of their talents. On PASS THE PIPE, they are backed with a supple, empathetic band for a program of seven Hibbert originals, including the lover's rock "My Love Is So Strong" and the fiery "Famine," plus a stirring, respectful cover of Bob Marley's "Get Up Stand Up."
