Call me Quote by Toots Hibbert
“I'm never proud of myself. No. People are always proud of me, but I think people can always be greater than me. People call me great; I don't think that I'm great. But they say, "You are the inventor for the word reggae, you are great." And I have to say, "Okay, thank you."”
