I am going to remove the trivia line that puts Toots singing the line 'one love' before Bob Marley because it's not true. The original recording of 'One Love' was completed in 1964 by the Wailers (with Bob Marley) while Toots' song 'It Was Written' used the line 'one love' but was recorded in 1972. Later on, Bob Marley would re-record his song 'One Love' in 1977.

I will remove it because it's not true. I'm also removing "They are the best selling reggae group ever." because thats an obvious lie. Toots is great and one of my favorites but it is clear to any, even a mild reggae fan, that Bob Marley or UB40 hold this title (most likely ub40).
