The Life & Tragic End of Peter Tosh | Jamaican Reggae Legend

Jamaican reggae musician Winston Hubert McIntosh, professionally known as Peter Tosh, was born on October 19, 1944 in the rural parish of Westmoreland, Jamaica. He sought refuge from the rigours of poverty in pop music, notably the R&B and du-wop beamed to the Caribbean by American radio stations. Having cultivated his guitar skills and his expressive baritone vocals, he began playing with fellow Trench Town youths Robert Nesta Marley, better known as Bob and Neville O’Riley Livingstone, better known as Bunny, in the early ‘60s. It was also at this time that he changed his name to Peter Tosh.

My father was a childhood friend of Peter Tosh, and it's still funny to hear him talk about stuff they'd do together and think, "Riiiight, Dad's friend is a big deal."

[@Luiz.Campos]

Nice fanfic.

[@philbis2774]

No Other Musician in the World would sit in a Marijuana FIELD for his debut studio album.. 'Peter was the pioneering ambassador for the decriminalization of Cannabis '' Peter gave some of the most dangerous speeches ever given by a musician his Speech about Legalization- Montego Bay,1982- shows how much of a Revolutionary he was

[@divinedelaware7541]

Brother MADE his first guitar at 5 years old😱

[@ElleMS-14]

Peter Tosh saved my cousin who dropped in a gully. We always talk about that story and how he was just riding by on his bike and saved her life ❤

[@jeanclarke9106]

As far as I know from reading a number of books, including Peter's autobiography, many articles and listening to Peter's numerous interviews, this is an accurate and honest portrayal of Peter's life, world class music and life philosophy. Thank You. Nevertheless, in so many regards, Peter has still not been accorded the full honour and recognition for his work and contribution to Jamaica and the world which he so rightly deserves.

[@sw1678]

One of my favourite Jamaican artists, thank you 🙌🏾

[@MrBeautiful2908]

That was a beautiful story. Bravo. Simply marvelous. However the way he passed away was truly heartbreaking.

[@timmy841212]

He died too soon. Only 42. 😢

My Libran ♎ brother Peter Tosh ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💯 I didn't know much about him nor Bob Marley until I was in my 20s. It's a shame what his friend did to him. I'm quite sure if he had money to give him he woulda gave it but to murder a man who looked out for you? Naaaah...not cool.

[@eusebiuse6537]

[@thecloud9effect765]

Yessssssssss🎉😂

[@kve1247]

I’ve heard his name but I’m not familiar w/him🤔

[@christineamlinger5630]

Oh his music is top top !

[@fredvan6043]

Comparing Tosh to Lennon and Marley to McCartney does not seem appropriate. If you really feel the need for Beatles analogies, I'd rather say Tosh was the Wailers' George Harrison! (at least artistically)

[@caramia4143]

Lennon was more political, meanwhile McCartney wanted to remain more commercial and do "silly love songs", as Lennon said. George Harrison was the more spiritual one of the Beatles, yes, but Lennon was also that way. Along with his activism and troubles with the US government similar to Peter Tosh and his run-ins with Jamaica's government not liking what he was saying, I think the comparison is appropriate.

[@fredvan6043]

@@caramia4143 I was just referring to Harrison for being a good guitarist who occasionally had his moments as a songwriter. But when it comes to being the most spiritual, then Bunny should be the Wailers' Harrison. On the other hand, McCartney (just like Tosh) was a more accomplished musician than Lennon, while Lennon - just like Bob (who was by NO means less political) - was a far more versatile lyricist and songwriter. Which just proves that any Beatles comparison makes no sense at all.

1:00 peter tosh.

[@taureanmay1411]

1:26 a reggae legend, rest in peace ✌️🕊️.

[@lloydferguson400]

There's nothing tragic about this man's end. He was already dying of envy from the success of Bob Marley. Now that he's dead there can be the usual speculation as to how successful Peter would be after Marley's death. He wouldn't be successful because instead of talent, he was filled with envy.

[@macewbee]

Yea I heard this from Josh Potash he should of stayed with the rollingstone after he left bob.

[@nicolesherman8974]

Hmmm.. I’m not familiar with this artist.

[@christineamlinger5630]

Now you are ! Maybe you are too young or don't listen to roots reggae he is one of the legends.

[@molebitoteng1985]

[@priscillagarcia2252]

So the wife saw that they weren't good friends and didn't have his best interest at heart and wanted money from him and warned him tried to keep them away and then they kill both of them and she is controlling and mean maybe she was intuitive and correct
