Loose, funky, exuberant, Kingston is the quintessential document of Jamaica's greatest act after Bob Marley. Showcasing some of the Maytals' best songs (including "Pressure Drop") and reaching out to borrow from soul, pop and gospel, Kingston introduced the world to Toots Hibbert, Jamaica's Otis Redding.

Total album sales: Under 500,000

Peak chart position: 164

Next: Bruce Springsteen
