As expected, "Got to be Tough" by Toots and The Maytals won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album on March 14. 

The ceremony was held virtually from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. 

With the death of its inspirational leader Toots Hibbert last September, the Trojan BMG Records-distributed album was seen as shoo-in to win over four other rivals. 

Hibbert died from complications of the Coronavirus at age 77 in Jamaica. 

Jackie Jackson, who has been bass player for The Maytals for over 50 years, was overjoyed at the win. 

"It's just the greatest feeling in the world," he said. 

It is the second Reggae Grammy for Toots and The Maytals. They won in 2005 for "True Love". 

The other nominees for Best Reggae Album were "Higher Place" by Skip Marley, "One World" by The Wailers, "Upside Down 2020" by Buju Banton, and "It All Comes Back to Love" by Maxi Priest. 

Jackson, one of Jamaica's most influential musicians, played on many of Toots' biggest songs including "Sweet And Dandy", "Take me Home Country Roads" and "Funky Kingston".
