About The Record:

Legend by Poco, included Crazy Love and Heart of the Night, written and sung by Young and Cotton respectively; they became the group's two biggest hits to date. After Crazy Love was released as a single, ABC Records was acquired by MCA Records, and the record's stunning commercial success was attributed by some to the efforts of ABC's promotional staff to prove their value to MCA. Meanwhile, the band started to stray from its distinct country rock sound, heading towards a more mainstream, commercially applauded soft rock and pop sound. Other noteworthy album cuts were Spellbound, Little Darlin', Legend, and Barbados, the latter being the inspiration for the (at the time) yet to be released Beach Boys comeback hit Kokomo. The cover art for Legend was done by Phil Hartman, the brother of Poco manager John Hartmann; Phil Hartman worked as a graphic designer creating album covers for his brother's clients (including America) while attempting to break out as a comic.
