Of all the Ex-wailers, Peter Tosh has long been my favorite. His music is _punchier_ than Bob Marley's, with an edge like a stepping razor.Here he takes on Chuck Berry's **Johnny B Goode** with his trademark slow-burn groove. Dig it!

The story goes that Peter Tosh knew that many wanted him dead. "I know I'm wanted because of the evil forces, but still I know there is another counter-force that counteract any evil force the forces of righteousness is a billion times more powerful." And then he took another hit from the peace pipe. Tosh eventually met his doom when murdered in Jamaica in 1987 at the age of 44. Now 20+ years l...

of a song better known in another form. Bunny Wailer's 1978 12" Discomix of "Love Fire" remains one of his best loved records, despite the best efforts of Simply Red to ruin it with a fairly pedestrian cover version. However, the genesis of the song was rather older, being released on HIM Intel Diplo by Peter Tosh with the Wailers( Bob Marley can clearly be heard singing "Come pn you weary soul...

I have always liked Peter Tosh's music. I found it to be a little 'rockier' than a lot of Reggae music.

The most sacred day in the Rastafarian calendar; on 21st April 1966 Emperor Haile Selassie visited Jamaica, to be greeted by over 100,000 Rastafarians (the authorities had no idea there were so many on the island), reducing the arrival at the airport and his drive into Kingston to utter chaos.This is Peter Tosh's take on the events at the time. The tune and lyrics are based on an old mento tune...

of Bunny Wailer's "Amagideon" released on the Solomonic label in 1977, plus its dub version.I doubt there's many vinyl copies of this still around

released on HIM Intel Diplo in 1967-68. Side One was written by Joe Higgs, and Side Two is yet another cut on the "Maga Dog" theme that the Wailers recorded as a ska tune, but was an old mento standard

Peter Tosh was one of the most famous Reggae artists from the 70`s. Together with his friend Bob Marley, they made this wonderful track together (one of many). "Why Must I Cry?" is taken from the album "Legalize It" from 1976.PETER TOSH - LEGALIZE IT (Colombia 1976)

I have a soft spot in my heart for this song (the original Chuck Berry version) . My son Sean used to sing, dance and play air guitar to his version "Seanny be good". Dedicated this tune to my 'baby boy' who is now 26 and would be more likely to listen to the Tosh version.
