Peter Tosh and his band Word, Sound and Power were indescribable. The first time I heard "Pick Myself Up" from the Mystic Man album, I was walking home from school. The music was blaring from a nearby house. I was only nine years old at the time, in my third year of primary school and with very rudimentary English. Despite this, Tosh's music spoke to me on a deep level. I was so moved that I stopped and turned back, walking into a stranger's yard to ask about the music. The young man playing the vinyl explained that it was reggae and Jamaican music. I sat on the front lawn in his front yard and listened to the Bush Doctor album on repeat for hours. My family and neighbours were concerned and organised a search party to find me. They eventually discovered me sitting on the lawn, completely captivated by Tosh's music. Even today, more than 40 years later, every time I hear a song from the Bush Doctor album, I am immediately transported back to that same feeling of captivation that I felt as a child...

Only if our youths of today could look to men like these that stood for something This man was before is time

It is estimated that Sly & Robbie have played on 200,000 songs recorded!! I can believe it. It's either them or Roots Radics backing every reggae record that came out of Jamaica from 1978-1983.
