Toots Hibbert (born Frederick Nathaniel Hibbert in May Pen, Parish of Clarendon, Jamaica, on 10 December 1945; died 11 September 2020) was a Grammy Award winning Jamaican singer and songwriter, remembered as the leader for the reggae and ska band Toots and the Maytals. His 1968 song "Do the Reggay" is widely credited as the genesis of the name for Reggae music. As the youngest of seven children, Hibbert grew up singing gospel music in a church choir, but went to Kingston when he was a teenager
