Reggae legend Toots Hibbert has died at age 77.

Toots and the Maytals said in a statement this past weekend "It is with the heaviest of hearts to announce that Frederick Nathaniel 'Toots' Hibbert passed away peacefully tonight, surrounded by his family at the University Hospital of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica".

The Maytals were formed in the early 1960s and were key figures in popularizing reggae music, and it's got us in the mood to take a spin down reggae lane this morning.
