Tosh had written many of the Wailers' hit songs such as "Get Up, Stand Up," "400 Years," and "No Sympathy." After issues with Island Records, he & Bunny left the Wailers. He recorded and released his solo debut album, "Legalize It" in 1976. He was Rastafarian, as was Bob Marley. On September 11, 1987, after returning home to Jamaica, Tosh was shot and killed in an attempted robbery at his home.
