Peter Tosh, born Winston Hubert McIntosh (18
October, 1944 – 11 September 1987) was a reggae musician who was a
core member of The Wailers who then went on to have a successful
solo career as well as being a trailblazer for the Rastafari
movement.
Tosh grew up in the Kingston, Jamaica slum of
Trenchtown. He stood out because of his height at 6 feet, 3 inches
(190 cm). His short-fuse temper and unveiled sarcasm usually kept
him in trouble, earning him the nickname Steppin' Razor after a song
written by Joe Higgs, an early mentor. He began to sing and learn
guitar at a young age, inspired by the American stations he could
pick up on his radio. After an illustrious career with The Wailers
and as a solo musician, he was murdered at his home. Robbery was
said to be the motivation behind Tosh's death.
