After Bob Marley, Peter Tosh (born Winston Hubert McIntosh, October 19, 1945 - September 11, 1987) was perhaps the second most famous reggae musician in the world.He was part of the original Jamaican ska band The Wailing Wailers, later The Wailers, along with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer. They started their career in 1962 and made the evolution from harmonizing ska band with soul influences to rebellious reggae group, inspired by rastafarianism. Tosh sang along on albums like Catch a Fire (1972) and Burnin' (1973), where he wrote some of their best songs, such as Stop That Train, Get Up, Stand Up, 400 Years and No Sympathy.In 1974 Tosh left the band and went solo. He released his debut album Legalize It (1976), of which the title track became his biggest hit. Because of its Everybody Must Get Stoned message the song was banned in Jamaica, but it made him famous all over the world. His next album, Equal Rights (1977) became an even bigger success because of this. Bush Doctor (1978), featured a cover of Don't Look Back, sang with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. "You Gotta Walk And (Don't Look Back)" is a very upbeat synth-heavy reggae cover of the Temptations song, which sounds nothing like his other work where he usually sounds more cynical. He also appears in the music video of "Waiting On A Friend" from the Stones' album Tattoo You (1981).During the 1980s Tosh became an outspoken anti-apartheid activist, but sadly he was tortured and murdered by a gang in 1987.His album Legalize It (1976) has it own page.
