Toots & The Maytals - 54-46 Was My Number

About Header.jpg

Toots Hibbert was such an inspirational musician and it saddened me to hear about his passing recently! He was a big inspiration to so many people and worked with so many of the greats! This is one of my favourites and probably one of yours too! Hope you enjoy it!
