Legend is a greatest hits collection of Bob Marley & The Wailers songs, released on May 8, 1984 (see 1984 in music).
The original compilation contained 14 songs, including 10 of Marley's 11 top 40 U.K. hits at the time, plus three songs from the early configuration of the Wailers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston ("Stir It Up," "I Shot the Sheriff," and "Get Up, Stand Up"), and the last song released on Marley's final non-posthumous album Uprising, the fan-favorite "Redemption Song."
A cassette release of the album featured two extra songs, "Punky Reggae Party" (the 11th top 40 hit), and "Easy Skanking," from the Kaya LP. These two songs were later included on both the 2002 reissue of Legend and its two-disc Deluxe Edition counterpart.
