"Legend" is the 13th album by the Country rock band Poco. "Crazy Love" and "Heart of the Night," by Young and Cotton, respectively, become the group's two biggest hits to date. Meanwhile, the band starts to stray from its distinct country rock sound heading towards a more mainstream, commercially-applauded soft rock and pop sound. Other noteworthy album cuts are "Spellbound," "Little Darlin'," "Legend," and "Barbados," the latter being a possible inspiration for the (at the time) yet to be released Beach Boys smash comeback hit "Kokomo".
