Bob Marley and The Wailers-Kaya (1978)

Bob Marley's tenth album is the most lighthearted and relaxed work of his entire career, with themes far removed from the social, racial, and political issues he had addressed in his previous albums. In this new release, Bob Marley, along with his inseparable band The Wailers, showcases his most amiable and laid-back side with a series of reggae standards such as the melodic "Is This Love", and the pleasant "Running Away", "Kaya", "Sun Is Shining", "Satisfy My Soul", and "She's Gone". However, it's also true that the brilliant moments of his earlier work are practically absent from this new release, even though it continued to maintain a high level of popularity. With three platinum and gold records, and sales that now exceed two million copies, it became his greatest commercial achievement and one of the high points in the career of the celebrated and iconic Bob Marley.
