The best-selling reggae recording of all time, the 14 songs on Bob Marley & The Wailers’ 1984 compilation Legend served, for most people new to the genre, as the best way to understand and appreciate reggae music and the soul and talents of the man and band who made it popular world-wide.

Selling over 12 million copies so far, the record included hits both from early incarnations of the band (with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston), including “Get Up, Stand Up”, “Stir It Up and “I Shot The Sherrif”, as well as other Marley-penned classics, including “Exodus”, “Jamming”, and the beautiful “No Woman No Cry”. Later editions offered up different mixes of the original tunes, plus bonus tracks.

“Rasta Man” Bob Marley’s 36 years on the planet left a legacy of peace, love, and activism in support of his fellow man.
