Peter Tosh "Rastafari Is"

Back



In 1987, Tosh appeared to be on the way to a career revival. He was awarded a Grammy for Best Reggae Performance in 1987 for No Nuclear War. However on September 11, 1987 three men came to his house demanding money, and when Tosh replied that he did not have any with him he was shot dead, along with disk jockey Jeff "Free I" Dixon. The leader was Dennis 'Leppo' Lobban, a man whom Peter had befriended and tried to help find work after a long jail sentence. Leppo turned himself over to the authorities, and was tried and convicted in the shortest jury deliberation in Jamaican history: eleven minutes. He was sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted in 1995 and he remains in prison. Neither of his two alleged accomplices were found, though rumors persist that both were gunned down in the streets.

I had the pleasure of seeing Peter Tosh in Royal Oak ,Michigan in 83 and Tosh is the one that got me hooked to reggae music. Well really even more. I'm not taking anything from Marley but Tosh hit me much more than Marley. He is my idol. If Marley is King of Reggae then Peter is Emperor of Reggae. I have ALL of Tosh music. May his music keep inspiring!!!! JAH LOVE.
