The Maytals, also known as Toots and the Maytals, were a seminal Jamaican ska and reggae group led by Frederick "Toots" Hibbert. The band was a major contributor to the development of reggae in the 1960s and 70s, with hits like "Pressure Drop" and "Monkey Man". Their signature sound combined soulful vocals with infectious rhythms, and they were known for Hibbert's powerful lead vocals. The Maytals' work has had a significant influence on artists in the reggae genre and beyond.
