Do You Think Peter Tosh Should Be A National Hero?


Peter Tosh was born Winston Hubert McIntosh on October 9, 1944 in Grange Hill, Jamaica. Raised by his aunt, he left home in his early teens and headed for the slums of Kingston, Jamaica, known as Trench Town. Like many of his fellow young aspiring musicians, he found his way to Joe Higgs, a local musician who offered free music lessons to youth. It was through Joe Higgs that Peter Tosh met his future fellow band mates, Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer which he made a few hits with before he went solo to do hit like "Legalize It"    
  Niambe Tosh, the daughter of late, great Reggae singer, Peter Tosh thinks that her famous father should be branded a National Hero by the Jamaican Government. This hails as part of the Peter Tosh Estate's campaign to garner full recognition for the Reggae singer's many contributions to Jamaica's music industry, amongst other works. 
In an interview with IRIE FM on recently,Niambe Tosh insists that her father deserves such acknowledgement from the local governments. Do you think he deserve to be a National Hero ?
