"One Love" is a reggae/Rhythm and blues song by Bob Marley & The Wailers from their 1977 album "Exodus". It was first recorded in a ska style by Marley's original group, The Wailers, on their 1965 debut album "The Wailing Wailers". It has also been included on many of their compilation albums, making it an influential classic.Fact|date=November 2007 The song contains an interpolation of The Impressions' song "People Get Ready" written by Curtis Mayfield. Marley's hybrid version is titled, "One Love / People Get Ready," and it gives co-authorship credits to both Marley and Mayfield.
A posthumous music video was created for the song in 1984 to accompany the Bob Marley "Legend" compilation album. It combines footage of a young British boy, Jesse Lawrence, in London and archival footage of Marley. It also features several cameo appearances including Paul McCartney of The Beatles, two members of Bananarama, and Suggs and Chas Smash of Madness. The song was also released alongside the video and gave Marley a posthumous UK hit single when it reached number 5 in June.
The song has been used in television commercials promoting Jamaican tourism. In 2007, Stephen Marley and Richard Branson re-recorded the song in Jamaica to promote Branson's Virgin Airways flights to Jamaica. [ [http://www.melodymakers.de/forum/showthread.php?t=6956 Melody Makers article] ]
