about

Ça fait un an que Toots (Frederick Hibbert) est mort au moment d'écrire ces lignes. J'ai osé faire une petite version de sa toune John James en son honneur. En quelque sorte, Toots aura été mon "gateway drug" à toute la musique jamaïcaine des années 60 & 70. Aujourd'hui je suis clairement accroc, grâce à lui! Toots était un géant, Toots est un géant!

It has been a year since Toots (Frederick Hibbert) passed away today. Here's my humble attempt at covering one of his songs. Toots has been my gateway drug to early ska, rocksteady & reggae... nowadays, I'm addicted, thanks to him!
Toots was a legend, Toots IS a legend!
