Winston Hubert McIntosh was better known as the famous reggae
singer Peter Tosh. Tosh was one of the main three founding members
of the Wailers band along with reggae star Bob Marley and Bunny
Wailer (also called Bunny Livingston). He went on to have a successful
solo career after his initial success with the Wailers reggae
group.
Peter Tosh grew up in the tough Trenchtown slums of Kingston,
Jamaica. Along with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer the trio did much
for the success of the Wailer band, promoting strong social and
political messages, along with their beliefs in the Rastafari
movement.
Tosh released his solo album "Legalize It" in 1976 which
went on to become a great success and is still popular more than
30 years later. Legalize it refers to Peter Tosh's belief that
marijuana should be legalized. The marijuana herb or drug, depending
on who you ask, is used and promoted by Rastafarians worldwide.
