Rolling Stone Editor Jason Fine Pays Tribute to Toots Hibbert: Watch

Elsewhere in the tribute, Fine reflected on Hibbert’s death: “I thought he was going to make it,” he said. “And one of the reasons I thought that is because if you watch him sing — even six months ago — his voice was so powerful. Even at his age, even with all the herb he’s smoked, he rarely lifts the microphone above waist level. He’s got so much power in those lungs.”

“He would be in the studio eight, nine, 10 hours a day,” he continued. “Every single day. In his studio is just hard drives, stacked all over, with hundreds and hundreds of songs that he’d written. And he was always searching for that next song. And I think part of it might have been, he did feel like there weren’t that many of the originals left. And he knew he was one of those guys. And I think it felt to him like his duty.

“He’s bigger than reggae,” Fine said. “He’s one of the great voices of soul music. And it was heartbreaking to learn that after all he’d been through, for him to get sick at that moment, is really tragic. But I’m glad [that] during the last part of his career, he was making new music, and he felt a lot of love.”
