What his his religion? Coptic, Baptist, etc...?

I've read he is a Rastafarian, just chooses not to wear the locks.--Chimino (talk) 09:29, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

roots reggae singer[edit]

someone wrote that Toots is roots reggae singer... I think that it's wrong, because his main genre is early reggae

Toots really did the whole gamut from Ska (where he made his name), to Rocksteady , Reggae and even some Dub. The guy was the quintisential Jamaican musician who spanned genres almost like Bowie or Neil young did. 121.45.226.70 (talk) 07:21, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sublime remade a song of his, "5446 thats my number" which is about his incarceration and 5446 was his cell number. Good song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.8.170.228 (talk) 20:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discography[edit]

He deserves a full discography. Nicmart (talk) 04:24, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Father of Reggae"[edit]

It's undue to place this quoted title in the article. First of all, it was only capitalized as part of the NYT article's title and is lowercase in the body.[1] If it's going to be used quoted, it needs in-text attribution; however, that would also be misleading, as most sources—not only the NYT—would support simply calling a pioneer as opposed to a "Father".—Bagumba (talk) 18:42, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
