His soulful vocal style was compared to Otis Redding, and led him to be named by ''Rolling Stone'' as one of the 100 Greatest Singers. After Hibbert's death, the Maytals indicated that they would continue as a working group. Their 1968 single "Do the Reggay" was the first song to use the word " reggae", coining the name of the genre and introducing it to a global audience. The '' Oxford English Dictionary'' credits Toots and the Maytals in the etymology of the word "Reggae".
