Peter Tosh

Peter ToshWinston Hubert Mcintosh, known popularly as Peter Tosh, was a founding member of the original Wailers in 1963, and was the group's only real musician at that time. As a youth a Savannah-La-Mar, he built his first guitar from a sardine pan, and went on to master the organ and melodica. His country vibes, mixed with a "churchical" upbringing, lent a mystical edge to the Wailers music. In the late '60s he began releasing solo instrumentals, and recorded with Johnny Nash. Following the Wailers' breakup, he released his first solo album, "legalize It." in 1976, filled with uncompromisingly militant lyrics. In 1978, Tosh appeared at the One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, where he unleashed a series of accusatory diatribes against the political parties in Jamaica. His fiery rhetoric led to his being beaten almost to death by police. He made his last live performance and the end of 1983. In 1987, shortly after the release of his final album "No Nuclear War, " Tosh was murdered by thieves who broke into his home in Kingston. He is survived by ten children, including singer Andrew Tosh.
