Toots and the Maytals established a great deal of popularity as early as in the 1970s. The group has been nominated three times for the Grammy Award’s Best Reggae Album pinnacle, and in 2005 the group was finally victorious when they took home the coveted prize. The group has released more than a dozen albums which inevitably help to promote awareness for Reggae music around the world.
Toots and the Maytals recently disclosed that they have recorded over two albums worth of new material, which is in the pipeline to be released soon. In 2012 Toots and the Maytals released its last LP named Unplugged on Strawberry Hill.
