Toots and the Maytals
Toots and the Maytals, originally called The Maytals, are a Jamaican musical group and one of the best known ska and rock steady vocal groups. According to Allmusic, "The Maytals were key figures in reggae music. Formed in the early 1960s when ska was hot, the Maytals had a reputation for having strong, well-blended voices. Frontman Hibbert's soulful style led him to be compared to Otis Redding."
Career
Frederick “Toots” Hibbert, the frontman of the group, was born in May Pen, Clarendon, Jamaica, in 1942, the youngest of seven children. He grew up singing gospel music in a church choir, and moved to Kingston in the early 1960s. In Kingston, Hibbert met Henry "Raleigh" Gordon and Nathaniel "Jerry" Mathias, forming in 1961 a group whose early recordings were incorrectly attributed to "The Flames" and "The Vikings" in the UK by Island Records. The Maytals first had chart success recording for producer Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at Studio One. With musical backing from Dodd's house band, the Skatalites, the Maytals' close-harmony gospel singing ensured success, overshadowing Dodd's other up-and-coming vocal group, the Wailers. After staying at Studio One for about two years, the group moved on to do sessions for Prince Buster before recording with Byron Lee in 1966. With Lee, the Maytals won the first-ever Jamaican Independence Festival Popular Song Competition with their original song "Bam Bam" (later covered in a Dancehall style by Sister Nancy, and also by Yellowman in 1982). However, the group's musical career was interrupted in late 1966 when Hibbert was jailed for 18 months for drug possession. He stated that he was not arrested for ganja, but while bailing a friend. He also stated that he made up the number 54-46 when writing "54-46 That's My Number" about his time in jail.

Tables Turned
by: MotelsBroken by
The empty evening
Wondering when it will be
All right again
Waiting patiently
For the tables to turn
Watching you
Go through your moves
My hand is out
You leave me
Standing there helplessly
Until the tables turn
You ask for me, you call for me
I know how it feels
Don't you think I know
You can stand alone?
Just like I did
Until the tables turned
Until the tables turned
The street is dark
But it's my best friend
Wait for the chance
To see you again
I'm waiting patiently
For the tables to turn
I could be wrong
But it might be right
I couldn't stand another night
Just waiting endlessly
For the tables too turn
You ask for me
You call for me
I know how it feels
Don't you think I know
You can stand alone?
Just like I did
Until the tables turned
Until the tables turned
Turn pages in a book
Turn faces with a look
Turn moments back in time
To when you were mine
You ask for me
You call for me
I know how it feels
Don't you think I know
You can stand alone?
Just like I did
Until the tables turned
Until the tables turned
