One of Jamaica's most outstanding vocal groups, the Maytals were at the forefront of Jamaican music throughout the 60s and 70s, beginning with ska in the early sixties and eventually giving the reggae genre its name with their classic Do The Reggay. In 1966 the Maytals were on the rise, winning the important Jamaican Song Festival in 1966, with "Bam Bam", but the band was forced to put their success on hold while lead singer Toots did time for ganja possession. This may have slowed the trio down, but when Toots was released in 1968, the Maytals came back hotter than ever, recording for Leslie Kong's Beverley's label and producing what is considered to be the band's best material-including classics like "54-46 That's My Number" (which described singer's jail time) and "Pressure Drop" (featured in the wildly popular Harder They Come movie).
