The Wailing Wailers had a major ska hit with their first single, 'Simmer Down', and recorded several more successful singles before Braithwaite, Kelso and Smith left the band in late 1965. According to Bunny Wailer, Tosh was critical to the band because he was a self-taught guitarist and keyboardist, and thus became an inspiration for the other band members to learn to play. Initially, Tosh was the only one in the group who could play musical instruments.

In 1964 Tosh helped organise the band the Wailing Wailers, with Junior Braithwaite, a falsetto singer, and backup singers Beverley Kelso and Cherry Smith. Higgs taught the trio to harmonise and while developing their music, they would often play on the street corners of Trenchtown. He then changed his name to Peter Tosh and the trio started singing together in 1962. Through his contact with Higgs, Tosh met Robert Nesta Marley ( Bob Marley) and Neville O'Reilly Livingston ( Bunny Wailer). During the early 1960s, as an aspiring musician, Tosh went to vocal teacher Joe Higgs, who gave free music lessons to young people. The man then asked McIntosh who had taught him to play McIntosh told him that he had. He then picked up the guitar and played the song back to the man. He watched the man play the same song for half a day, memorizing everything his fingers were doing. He first learned guitar after watching a man in the country play a song that captivated him. When McIntosh was fifteen, his aunt died and he moved to Trenchtown in Kingston, Jamaica. He was abandoned by his parents and 'shuffled among relatives'. Tosh was born Winston Hubert McIntosh in Westmoreland, the westernmost parish of Jamaica. He was murdered in 1987 during a home invasion.Įarly music and with the Wailers Along with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer, he was one of the core members of the band the Wailers (1963–1976), after which he established himself as a successful solo artist and a promoter of Rastafari.
