Kingston, Jamaica (December 8, 2020) – Great music never gets old, especially when Junior Toots releases the newest remake of his father’s famous track, Sweet and Dandy.
The Toots Hibbert legacy lives on through Junior Toots, born and raised in St. Mary, Jamaica. The idea to record Sweet and Dandy came from Toots Sr. who produced the track for his son.
This December 8, 2020 single release marks the day that would have been the 78th birthday for the recently transitioned Toots Hibbert or “Nyah” as he was called by his family.
Junior Toots is a seasoned performer and professional recording artist in his own right. His performances display high-energy, creative lyrics and a massive passion for Roots Reggae music!
He has graced the stages of festivals and venues across the USA giving his fans the opportunity to integrate his socially conscious messages with inspiration.
For nostalgic music fans, Toots and the Maytals’ original Sweet and Dandy LP was released back in 1969 on Beverley’s Records (1961-1971).
The title song, Sweet and Dandy was the first track on the B-side of the album. The LP’s other biggest hits were Monkey Man, Pressure Drop, and 54-46, That’s My Number.
