- Peter Tosh is famous for his legendary music and activism. But what most don't know is that the Stepping Razor's almost extreme radical exploits were directly linked to the grief he suffered after the loss of his girlfriend, Yvonne Whittingham
Thanks for bringing back such good memories of my beloved sister, i”m her youngest brother, and use to go fishing and go the country with Bob, Peter Bunny and Yvonne. Thanks for remembering her, and the goodness she brought to Peters life.
🙏 May her beautiful soul continue to rest in peace
Ah now both together in paradise. Sounds like Yvonne was a beautiful soul. But so tragic for them both.
How life can change in the blink of an eye.
Give thanks and praise every day for what you have ❤
My sincere condolences to you and anyone else who loved your sister. 🙏❤
Blessings Wesley.Peter really loved her.Your Sister Bev,is a Good friend of Mine.
God bless your family
I love how you pay respect to her intelligence; a man who understands the value of a woman's mind is a wise man indeed.
😏 RAS the best I. 🤙💯
True❤
Indeed. To respect and honor the value of her intelligence and essence is an invaluable gift that keeps giving.
What about a woman who understands a man ? What is that called
@@user-ib8fc4nr2h I don’t claim to know what it’s called specifically, yet I am convinced thoroughly that it is an invaluable gift that keeps giving.
I knew Peter before he met the love of his life. Also, I knew of her and family before he met her. I can tell many stories. She suffered a lot for him and he was dedicated to her and proud of her. The world knew Peter as a rough, revolutionary, and an artist; but my friends and I had the privilege of experiencing the other side of him. He was a caring, tenderhearted humanitarian. Beneath the course, (BBC) exterior was someone to cherish. I remember when Bob got what I believe was his first car, a white two-door Ford Escort, Peter dragged me along on a very memorable tour out in the country. I was in the backseat between Bunny and Peter, while Bob drove up front with company. I wish I had the means then to tape the fantastic sounds those three produced that night. They sang all their songs like it was a nonstop concert, pressing in and out of the rural areas. Amazing! My adventurous 18th year of life. Respect.
❤
amazing amazing amazing recount thank you.
@@SILVARYDAH Thank you.
Beautiful memory ❤
Did someone obeah her?
This is the first time I am hearing this story about Peter Tosh. Very sad story.
Very sad indeed
I have to say that to me, the changes in Peter’s personna were a result of the fractured skull he got from that savage beating in HWT lockup….the Peter I got to know as a High Schooler was brilliant n steadfast in his beliefs..he drove a champagne coloured Hillman (if memory serves) n I would go with him sometimes to the studio..he had ‘adopted’ me as a likkle sister…first time I knew that ganja was also called ‘marijuana’ , was due to seeing a magazine with that name as its title…thru him, I was able to meet so many of the foundation artistes of our music..my photo albums contain soooo many pictures….he was a true teacher…years later, he is now THE Peter Tosh n arrived in St Louis, Mo., where I was residing, for a show….got to hang out with him ..he wanted snapper so he sent me in the provided limo to get him fresh snapper…I have this wonderful picture of him pressing his clothes in his hotel room…he was forever the brother I never had…Sleep In Peace STEPPING RAZOR…
@rasempress Thanx for sharing these good memories ❤
I think the beating actually gave rise to his thoughts that Rastafarianism was true and that he was being persecuted for the truth.
Knowing now all the things I didn't know as a Rastafarian, I am sad for Peter. Growing up so poor, being heavily misled that some Ethiopian emperor is God, all the abuse he endured for ganja, all the suffering.. etc. Praying for his soul to be delivered, Jesus Christ have mercy.
@@SeekTheCrossYou cannot pray for a dead person!!
But you praise Jesus who was also a King. What is your point here?@@SeekTheCross
Pray for your own salvation
He has one of the best voices ever. ❤❤❤
Yu can say that a million times and no one will ever dispute that
Peter continues to inspire me to Pick Myself Up.❤️💚💛
I hope to see Tosh properly depicted on the big screen soon 🙏
Jah Bless ♥️💛💚 the @OneLoveMovie = #Str8OuttaBabylon 💔
@@IgboOracleReal talk! I don't trust those entities with Peter Tosh's life story, at all.
They would only misrepresent and soil the image of Tosh because Rome has always hated the children of Jacob. They won’t promote him in a good light. Tosh’s music and life has the potential to awaken the kids of our people so they would rather assassinate his character. Jah will give a reward at the end of- let them keep their awards for themselves and the wicked of the earth
This is as close to a movie that was made..co-produced by Wayne Jobson, ( aka, Native Wayne), brother to Diane Jobson, Bob’s legal counsel for years…..Stepping Razor: Red Xth-cam.com/video/gBpTCADFda8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YUpFE3RymizXgXdn
@@rasempress9724 this is a great doc. empress, thank you!
The great love of his life, and called by Peter his best friend/soulmate. They had a similar level of education and shared interests in Africa, history, social affairs, politics, etc... but unfortunately without a happy ending. It's a pity. Thanks for sharing. 🌻✌🏻😎
This bring back sad memories I remembered this accident very well. Of Yvonne Withingham. I was living on the same Road as her and it was a sad time for everyone . I also visited her while she was on the life supporting machine and she did not recovered from that dangerous accident that left everyone sad to see the end of her life hope her dear soul rest in ever lasting peace❤
@@valeriebrown1523 You did good to visit her & see her last time 🙏🏼🌻
Am seeing and hearing this story the first time.
I always chose Peter before Bob and I think because of his radical nature.
I loved all those radical tracks and still do.
RIP Pet❤❤❤❤❤
RIP Pet.
Rasta don’t do favoritism … it’s not who’s over who… it’s about INITY
This shed so much light on the giant life of Peter Tosh. I had never heard of Yvonne Whittingham and if I did then the tragedy of her death never registered in the way your video allowed me to understand. Really great work. Give thanks.
So sad. Peter was heartbroken. 😢
Indeed there some things in life you can recover from when I lost my Mum apart of life went 😢😢
These types of death can be very difficult to handle, who knows it feels it. Sleepless nights and broken heart, it almost seems it is eating you up alive.
RIP to both Peter and Yvonne. Their soulmates together again in the afterlife.
Man, this channel just get better and better. Bring 'em on, son!🇯🇲💥🇯🇲💥🇯🇲
A much under appreciated side to and history of Peter, he needed her to keep him centered.
Very nice mini biography on Peter Tosh. Thank you for sharing. ❤💛💚
When is the Peter Tosh Movie being made
I hear you. The powers that be should have elevated both.
Peter Tosh, the man of many parts.
Sometimes life is really unfair...
It’s always unfair
Love can move mountains. Very sad that he lost her.
There are so many wonderful memories being shared in the comments. These are the people that would be vital, along with you, to tell the story of Peter Tosh in a story about his life in the form of a movie.
Very enlightening. Not withstanding, Peter was a Goodman. Jah bless his soul.
Interesting. Never heard this before.❤
Wow! I am a 53 year old Jamaican and didn’t know this. Thanks RAS.
My Big Sister may she fly High 🙏🏽Loved Peter Tosh's Music ❤️
🎶 🎵
I never heard this before very sad 😔
And more than likely he carried that pain with him until he passed away..
Peter Tosh shall be known as a true warrior soldier.Bless I would never know if it was not for your channel.
I didn't know about this stuff. I always heard that audio of Peter cursing at all the love songs on the radio and talking with hatred about it. With this perspective the context of why he hated hearing love songs changes. Rip Peter and Yvonne
This is great! Peter Tosh should be more of a household name. I still have the tape of his first album, just love it!
This why I don't go to no Funeral come from loosing his love .... he never went to Bob Marley Funeral this help you answer as I understood
I too believe Yvonne was the love of Peter's life. I also think that Peter was brain damaged and along with the grief went through a big personality change which was never accommodated for by some people he dealt with. Thank you for this one RAS.❤💛💚🖤
Agree, I guess you are right! ✌🏻🤔
Peace, Sister-Queen. This is something I never considered. Brain damage was likely. The psychological trauma is clear, but actual brain injury didn't cross my mind. I know someone who was in a severe car accident and he's erratic, sometimes sweet and frequently quarrelsome and difficult. It may be partly who he's always been, but parts of it nuh look right. While I love the Wailers, I have what I also disliked as none of us is perfect. The only thing I wondered and still do is if Peter also suffered from bipolar disorder. This is NOT a diss; to me it would explain some things. Perhaps it's me wanting justifications and excuses so it's not just that this brilliant, freedom-loving brother wasn't just a callous jerk for no reason. It's also necessary to acknowledge another element that he and his bredren had to battle and those were spiritual attacks. Rest well, Sr Yvonne. I hope they had a loving reunion. I didn't plan for the comment to be so long. Smh. Joy, health, love, progress, fulfillment, wisdom and peace in 2024 and beyond. ❤💛💚🖤🙋🏿♀️
@@loveheals6184 Blessed love Empress Sister ❤💛💚 I am currently reading a book about Peter and Peter actually thought he could fly. Peter was going to attempt to fly and had to be stopped by a friend. I love Peter and I say this with respect but I think he was a little bit wild/crazy this is no criticism because I too am a bit wild/crazy. Peter was a genius, and a brilliant thinker and Peter like a lot of geniuses and brilliant people was a little bit crazy. Some of my older relatives who have passed say Peter was the most pleasant and easiest one of the Wailers to talk to, this is also documented. ❤💛💚🖤
@@SabiArtStory777 Blessings. ❤💛💚🖤
@@MsWildberry1 Oh, my word...he thought he could fly?! Give Thanks you knew the vibe and intention. Many creatives in addition to being deeply sensitive (which can be a strength and liability), have some of these troubles. I deal with depression. I can't remember the title, but a few years ago I listened to part of a biography on Audible. I decided I'd have to find and read it on my own because the bad accents and Amharic was pronounced Aramaic. Anyway, I recall being alarmed and worried as I listened even though it was decades ago. Our folks didn't discuss topics like that much or openly. I'm thankful that your relatives had such beautiful encounters. Rest well to his son Jawara whom Babylon jailed for herb that ultimately led to his death😡. It would've been a scandal had it been a Marley. I say this as someone whose life has most been influenced by Bob outta the 3.
Yvonne Whittingham was my best friend sister her family has never been the same since the accident that took her life
So many tragic and brutal events happened to the masters of reggae music, and Peter in particular. It just blows my mind. And being able to to produce such musical and cultural masterpieces afterwards is just a very big mystery to me. It’s something bigger than life I guess. Rest in peace Evonne & Peter🙏 One Love ❤️🇯🇲✌️
Rest in Peace, Mystic Man. Every man knows this type of heartache.
MY FAVORITE ❤️ WAS PETER TOSH!!!!🙌
I never heard of these nuances of his life before... Sad story... Thanks for sharing n' God bless
Just looking bat them they were happy but life is like a candle in the wind
Peter is my absolute favourite reggae artist and the wailers was never the same after bunny and peter left.
That girl was the calmer to his anger and I almost forgot this story may be once or twice it was spoken of. Peter went through a lot even though sometimes he was the one who got in his way for the most part of it. A musician with a cutting edge!
My eldest sister was doing her Internship at Spanish Town Hospital, the night Peter was brought in after the crash….I remember her coming home n saying she had ‘worked’ on the most beautiful ‘specimen’ of a man….
Peter Tosh? Beautiful?😮😮😮😮😮OMG😅😅😅😅he is one of the scariest man I have seen😮😮😮
@@sandanarajarlouis492 u seem to fail to realize that to a Doctor, it is the physique n body tone…plus Peter WAS a handsome man…wat? him dark hue was not to ur liking
@@rasempress9724 Peter was Gorgeous

Have you seen his lips? So sensual...a true Afrikan King ❤
Peter lives!
She was beautiful
Peter Tosh music wake up the 🌿 slumbering mentality of mankind on earth 🌎
Tosh spirit still lives, the youths in Chicago farewell saying to each other is "STAY DANGEROUS "....
😹...Not only said in Chicago!💥🤣
@@dcat9558 that saying became famous there...
Another warrior! Missed very much! The most high has both of them!❤🤎
Thanks to the Reggae appreciation society for letting us know why the Stepping Razor was who we have come to know. ❤️❤️
I love Peter Tosh the fiery man who would have been a true leader ❤❤❤❤❤
Truly excellent mini-documentary on Peter's life. Thank you!
There was nothing wrong with the path that this brother took . He stood firm like every other prophet in history preaching and singing truth and rights.
Don’t be afraid of Babylon or their puppets that threaten our lives.
Nothing was wring with that. A lot wrong with being stubborn and hard to work with however.
@@jahdestamuzik9145And that’s what made his music perfect until the very last album according to Jah will.
I would have liked to meet Peter first then Bob. Some people are just born with the rebel heart. And we don't last that long. Respect to Peter Tosh.
Little bit tangential to the discussion, but I was listening to Talkin Blues this morning, and Peter was such a superb guitarist. Very few bands in all of music have ever had a number two frontman of his musical stature.
Talking Blues blew up when the British group THE CIMMARONS covered it….they were brought to Ja by Tommy Cowans, who at the time had a studio on Oxford road…Frank Dunn the leader was my cousin in London’s other half at the time…Tommy put the band up at THE FORUM HOTEL ovah Hellshire…it was later used as a residence for Medical students…not sure what it is dese days…anyhoo, they were not in the high-rise hotel itself, but the cottages that were part of the hotel, built along the beach…with my ‘close connection’, I was asked to stay with them n ‘look out’ fi dem…Bob, Jacob Miller etal would come by…..it was a fun filled time….dem guys would play football pon the beach, nyam nuff food, especially Ian, Roger etal from Inner Circle…memories, indeed, don’t leave like people do…
Love Peter the toughest
He was never the same after the car crash .changed him for .good and bad.
I’ve wondered about this since I became a Peter Tosh fan as a teenager. I knew Timothy White mentioned it in his Marley biography and that Peter’s mother, when she was interviewed for the “Red X” documentary, explained that her son had been a reckless driver. No one ever seemed to expand on this episode in his life, though, or to offer much in the way of an explanation as to how it had affected him. Thank you for sharing this!
RIP TO PETER AND YVONNE
THEY SHOULD DO A MOVIE ABOUT PETER TOSH IT WOULD BE INTERESTING. WIZ KALIFA PLAY PETER TOSH AND AMBER ROSE PLAY HIS SOUL MATE WHO DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT HE CAUSED. IT'S A REASON FOR A PERSONS MADNESS. HIS STORY TO ME IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS BOB MARLEY'S TO BE HEARD. WE HAVE A RICH HISTORY A RACE. MANY UNKNOWNS LIKE ME HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY UNBELIEVABLE STORY. I'M PLANNING ON WRITING A BOOK. 😮
SHE LOOKED AS A REALLY BEAUTIFUL CARIBBEAN BLACK WOMAN 😌so sorry to know that the brother went through this WE LOVED HIM IN TRINIDAD BACK IN THOSE DAYS
True thing! He was loved back then! Yvonne had the Carnival Queen looks! May they both Rest in Peace. 🙏💐
Love makes the world go round
Thanks you
Peter is my favorite artist
Love from Paris France from an angolan brother
Blew smoke in dem face lol. Bless RAS, thanks again bred
Life is something else. Sorry for his loss
Peter a strong man he was
RIP Yvonne, you were beautiful in every way
Peter Tosh Forever 👊🤝🇧🇷
If I had the ability to bring back 5 people Peter Tosh would be on that list. Then Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Dedan Kemathi Wa Cuira & Vaughn Benjamin. Peter has earned all my respect
Such memories so sad stories about the legend..😢😢😢😮😮🥺🥺😔😔😔♥️🙏👉❤️💛💚
Respect the stepping razor
Peter and myself are cousins on my mother's side who is from westmoreland
Interesting to hear stories and history on the other wailer members. They were just as relevant as Bob . Imagine if the original band stayed together ❤
PETER TOSH,
"WHY MUST I CRY THIS TEARS FROM MY EYES?
I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN.
JUST LOVE, WAS MY GREAT SIN."
This song & video is almost a summary of how Peter & Ras D feel about P.T. first love.
THANK BRO.,
IT'S GREAT WHEN YOUR (S)HEROES ARE ALSO HUMAN TOO.
JAH LIVE
JAH GIVE.
JAH GUIDE.
JAH BLESS.
Yes these things that break a man’s heart and cause personal trauma can and will scar a man for years and sometimes for life after
I wondered why Peter behaved THAT way ...he even had a big PROBLEM with Keith Richards...he tried to take Keith house... NOW this makes sense...yo thank for THIS work.
They used Peter and he never had money on his album and tour with them. That was the problem and not the other way round
@@badumbuya8513 They took on Peter to help him, but Peter was somewhat paranoid.
I didn’t know anything about him - that’s so sad about Yvonne . May she rest in peace 🙏🙏
Thanks for this my brother.
Oh! Poor Peter.
I love his songs as well, just like Bob.
It's very sad when you lose a loved one; I can just imagine how he must have felt losing Yvonne.
May their great souls rest in perfect peace.
Death is indeed a price every mortal will surely pay someday.
i love the track: "Kechi shubi" on the "Legalize it" album.
Rest in peace; Stepping Razor. Rest in peace, Yvonne.
I LOVE PETER'S MILITANCY
Don’t forget about Marlene. No one can’t replace your first love yeah, but Marlene was a blessings to him.
Ugh. Nobody likes Marlene
@@jalisabradford6201 But Peter loved her
Well, Santa, who was there during Tosh's assassination, said one of the gunmen said to Marlene "You're the reason this is happening".
❤❤❤❤❤.... "Feel no way".. One of the best ,ever!!!
That s a great point. I always wondered why Peter Tosh became so militant to the point of self sabotage in the years after leaving the Wailers. What's sad is that he could have been as huge a musical star as Bob was.
The system chose to promote Bob over Peter. Love them both, but Peter has a special place in my heart.
Because of Bob patro lineage the pink side Peter was ours Bob was for them I will rute for Peter.
Peter was as big as Bob. Fya burn Peter Tosh record sales they water down." The system picked Bob the same way they said Elvis was the king of RnR to control and deny black people their self identity.
@@shayscott7498 "The system" is a course catch-all term that should not be used anymore. There were many factors in Tosh's vs Marley's success, including the fact that Marley was more amenable and friendly, and certainly because he was half white which was less intimidating to non-black listeners.
I always listen to your podcasts, particularly those relating to Peter, and while I am in agreement with most of the content of this broadcast, I feel that I must respond to some of the statements made which include references to Peter using words like 'crazy''. You state that Peter's performance at the one love peace concert had gone down in history as one of the most shocking events in the nation's history. This statement begs this question of who are the determinants of what you call 'shocking'? From other reports, among ordinary Jamaicans, Peter stole the show that night as they felt he was speaking for them. On another note, Peter was not the instigator of confrontations with the Jamaican police, it was the other way round. Additionally, even if the police felt that he had committed a crime, in a civilized country which claims to promote law and order, ten to twelve police beating a so called prisoner almost to the point of death, does not equate to law and order. Law and order includes the fact that the police does not have the right to behave as if they are judge, jury and executioner, without question from the status quo. I have listened to Peter's speech at the one love peace concert, and I question the statement that Peter was tongue lashing Jamaica's political leaders during this speech. He was simply stating the concerns of poor Jamaican.
GREAT CONTENT!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤
LOVE, PETER TOSH!! TRUE REVELATIONARY
Blessings ✌️ Thanks a lot
Bless Peter Tosh he was the Man
Earth is not level..dont beat yourself up..be still and know God...

Great video! Big ups from Detroit and Jah bless....

I don't really know anything about Peter Tosh so this was very interesting, thank you.
I never knew that he was with such a beautiful woman called Yvonne
Merci ❤Peter ❤
You expressed everything perfectly. Thank you and bless
Peter Tosh The king and teacher the revolutionary the original FireMan . The trend setter the best of the best the son of Jacob.
Peter and I have the same Birthday
I'm sure even the song "Why must I cry" was as a result of him losing the love of his life.
We don't have villages
'Norval Marley was a European-Jamaican of Jewish/Syrian descent whose family came through England. Norval claimed to have been a captain in the Royal Marines, though at the time of his marriage to Cedella Booker, an African-Jamaican then 18 years old, he was employed as a plantation overseer.'
Peter lived in Ensom City Spanish Town at the time.
