About Equal Rights:
Equal Rights brought together Peter Tosh's dedications to the revolutionary movements growing in Africa, and the mysticism and wonders of his personal growth as a prophet, poet, preacher and world-class musical trailblazer. The album included a number of songs that became human rights anthems over the next two decades: Get Up, Stand Up, Downpressor Man, African, Apartheid, and the title tune.
Lyrics:
Get up, stand up, brother
Stand up for your rights, come on
Get up, stand up, sisters
Don't give up the fight, I'm beggin' you to
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
I say don't give up the fight

Continuing our little tribute to Peter Tosh one day after the anniversary of his passing on September 11, 1987. It must have been difficult for Peter to come up with an album approaching the greatness of Legalize It, but with his second solo effort, Equal Rights (1978) he succeeded. As with Legalize It, there is not a weak track on the whole album. The backing band is superb---Al Anderson gtr Earl Lindo keyboards Robbie Skakespeare b and Sly Dunbar d. Bunny Wailer, who had already left the Wailers, sings background vocals. Dunbar has stated " Sly and Robbie's international career started when we toured with Peter Tosh in support of the Equal Rights album." Get Up Stand Up first appeared on the Wailers' Burnin' album with Bob singing lead and Peter taking one chorus. Here it's all Peter and he changes some of the lyrics. One of the most famous songs in the history of Jamaican music, this version is also outstanding . The opening song on Equal Rights.

Idunno, I always thought Tosh should have sung lead for The Wailers with Marley backing up. Plus his funky Curtis Mayfield style guitar work!!! Money in the bank

[@fredvan6043]

So he did (with Bob and Bunny backing) on the songs he wrote, some of which were really great (No Sympathy, 400 Years, Downpresser,...) but as a songwriter he wasn't as prolific as Bob. The great thing about the original Wailers was the alternation between Bob, Peter and Bunny taking the lead, unlike most classic Jamaican vocal groups who had just one lead singer, regardless of who wrote the song. Just a pity that after this extraordinary "Equal Rights" album, Tosh' music quickly went downhill, since there was so much more potential in it.

[@shakadee6839]

Peter was the leader by far Bob Marley always wanted to write all the songs and that was another contentious issue between the two of them and christ whitewell played on it as he was a psychologist so he knew how to play things to his advantage. When Peter joined the group which was Bunny Wailer who formed the group in 1960 when Peter Tosh came neither Bob or Bunny could play or read music hence why Bunny said out of his own mouth we have found the missing link so you can overstand why Peter was so annoyed because he was never given the respect that was due to him and he knew it. From colonial empire days the lighter you were the slave master tend to give you more rights over the darker ones and in the Caribbean racism is deep, if you were dark back then public jobs like working in the bank you could not get that position even down to your education you was pushed to one side for the lighter ones and Peter could see this he was no fool and as I say this it with pains because, mi see nothing has changed if you brown you stick around if you white you alright and if your black you stay back because you catching hell from both parties even as a child the darker one always cought hell, hence why Bob Marley got the props by far he was never a better musician than Peter he was the brain's behind the wailers. May his spirit RIEP 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤🖤💛💚

[@fredvan6043]

@@shakadee6839 Total BS. Bob was the most talented and most prolific songwriter, as is largely proven by both the original Wailers' output and Peter's and Bob's solo works afterwards. And it was not Blackwell, but (black producer) Lee Perry before him who made Bob the Wailers' front man, considering him the natural leader of the group. Had Bob's skin been black as coal and Peter's half brownish, that wouldn't have changed a thing.

Eleventh song by the beautiful soul Peter Tosh. In the interests of brevity these will be the last four songs we'll hear from him, all from his second album Equal Rights in 1977. . I could easily post 20 more great songs by him, but sometimes overkill is not the best way. Get Up, Stand Up is a VERY famous song all over the world, originally heard sung by Bob Marley on the Wailers'album Burnin' in 1973. This was the last album all three of the original members appeared on. In interviews when he was alive Bob has stated that he and Peter co-wrote the song, but recently there have been claims that only Peter was the writer.--- "In 1977, Tosh recorded “Get Up Stand Up” for his album, Equal Rights, the entire project conceived to relieve and champion the suffering population of the world, particularly in Apartheid-era South Africa and throughout the African diaspora. Reissued earlier this summer, the two-disc set features two versions of “Get Up Stand Up,” both credited to Tosh: The studio original, and an alternate take deemed too controversial for airplay because it included the n-word and profanity. “Not everyone realizes he wrote the song,” Tosh’s youngest daughter Niambe McIntosh told Crawdaddy! last month. “It was actually him who originated the song. He doesn’t get a lot of credit for a lot of the songs he wrote.” Be that as it may, this is one of the most loved songs on this planet. The opening track on Equal Rights.

[@nanetteperez398]

Know where I could find that alternate take bro?

[@b4ssfunk3d]

He may have wrote this song, but he also took credit for a song he didn't write and never payed the songwriter for "Steppin Razor" just sayin...

[@fredvan6043]

Well, it's easy to say these things now that the two protagonists and (co-)authors are long gone... If Tosh wrote the entire song, he would have sung it entirely. Maybe he came with the starting idea, probably even the chorus (that was sung jointly), but two of the three verses are Marley's, that's for sure. All three Wailers sang lead on their own compositions, so there's no way Peter would have let Bob sing 2/3rd of this song unless those verses were his. And Niambe (who mainly uses her dad's name to raise her own profile) wasn't even born when this song was written, so her statements - that have never been confirmed by any of the original Wailers, not even Tosh himself - should be taken with more than a pinch of salt. Moreover, Tosh has claimed credits for songs he didn't even write himself (for which he was legally sued by former Wailers' mentor and author of 'Stepping razor' Joe Higgs, by the way), so if 'Get up stand up' was really his, boastful as he was he would never have shared the credits with Bob. Just be serious: if you were the one and only author of the most iconic reggae song of all times, would you keep this a secret until the day you die? Of course not!
