  • I love you so much. My big brother Toby crossed over to the other side last night. All my fondest memories are of him and the band that we created. The most talented musician I have ever had the honor to make music with. There will never be another like you Toby. Your light will shine on eternally. Thank you for making mine and everyone's life so bright. I celebrate your love and life! Rest in Love. Your bald brother Stu x

    I hope Jay will be this respectful and release the original Symphonized Album to share with us the hidden Toby tunes we haven´t been allowed to listen to yet.

Rest In Peace Toby 👍🏻👍🏻 the etype is now finished and my prize possession 👍🏻👍🏻

    Just heard about his passing recently and am very saddened by it. Saw the band a couple of times live between 93 and 01... and each show had those great melodic moments that only he could deliver.
    Jay has the voice and entertainment skills but Toby brought the magic to the entire sound.
    And yes: I am one of those who loved the original line-up the most.
    So ...props to you, Stuart, for bringing some serious funk to the table. And posting this lovely video.

    A estas alturas de la vida. No solo yo, sino que todos los que seguimos a los integrantes de la formación clásica de Jamiroquai, soñábamos verlos juntos nuevamente. En estos últimos años del que siempre me esperaba que vuelva a la Banda era Toby Smith para que mejore en la composición de las letras y música. Eso ya no podrá, pero parte él, una gran parte de él quedó grabado en los primeros albums. Gracias por todo Toby, tu sonido no se igualará. Un salud allá arriba en aquel Space donde bailarás sin parar y brindar felicidad 👍🏾

It was sad when Toby left after 20 years as he was a massive part of the group, very talented indeed! Rip Toby - Shine on Mr Moon xx

    Toby Smith got me into playing Keyboards in the 90s. I met him at the Newcastle Mayfair during the Space Cowboy tour. He was so helpful and advised me about what Keyboards to buy. So I bought a Fender Roads electric piano (a big part of the Jamiroquai sound) and a roland sh09. I met him a couple of times after that and he was such a gentleman. We would talk about synths and old jazz funk records. He was in my opinion a greater player than guys like Herbie Hancock. Absolutely incredible. It was an honour to meet my hero. Rip my fellow Fender Bender (his words to describe me). God bless you friend. X

    • @jpb93360

Those Jamiroquai years have meant so much to so many of us....Toby spent some time talking to me one night after a show, space cowboy tour. Other band members too, but he was so kind and curious about everything. I was just a fan, but he talked to me like a friend. He radiated light and goodness. Peace to you Toby.

    Damn, that brother was one of the keyboardists who helped define my generation and also one of my personal favorites. He was definitely the rock of Jamiroquai during the entire 90s decade in which the band put out their most career-defining work. Can't believe this is the first time I've heard of his passing back in April, man we're still losing good people left-and-right in wake of what went down back in 2016:::sigh:::
