Peter Tosh "Rastafari Is"
Uploaded by: BVMRastaTV
Video Description:
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.

Tell a friend:














Again,Bob is great.But without Peter, Bob wasn't become that great.
Peter learned Bob playing the guitar and write songs etc. Bob became more famous,because Peter wouldn't tour around the world. Years later he would do.
Peter Tosh deserve more appreciation and fame!!!
Rastafari!!
He was also a prophet, he sang "Be careful of your friends and Jah protect me from my friends", and later a fiend shot him.
THIS IS CLASSIC, AND ENDURING!
Jah Bless!
JESUS LOVES U ALL !!!
