Peter Tosh was never given the credit he deserved for his contribution to the Wailers, nor a solo career that possesses a Led Zeppelin like status of the reggae world.
Or credit for a song that transcends decades.
His online legacy is small - only a handful of his songs can be found on youtube, their quality awful. Compare the same to Luciano, Aswan, and one 'Bob Marley', where you'll find every bodily function not only photographed, but journaled and categorized.
Tosh's sin was to say Marley's success came from the fact his father was white. Translation: He got a free ride.
From there, it gets stranger. But information on him is - unlike his peers - hard to find.
Cool guitar...
