In the wake of the assassination attempt, Marley and his band left Jamaica and settled in London for two years, where he recorded 1977's Exodus. Thematically, Exodus represented a subtle but significant shift for Marley; while he continued to speak out against political corruption and for freedom and equality for Third World people, his lyrics dealt less with specifics and more with generalities and the need for peace and love (though "So Much Things to Say," "Guiltiness," and "The Heathen" demonstrate the bullets had taken only so much.

If any album could be declared Bob Marley’s masterpiece, it was Exodus. Recorded during a period of exile in London in the aftermath of a gun attack on Marley’s home in Jamaica, it was a musical statement of towering authority which combined visions of Biblical drama with profound expressions of solidarity and tender personal feelings. Released on 3 June 1977, it housed a string of Marley’s biggest and best-loved hits: ‘Jamming’, ‘Waiting In Vain’, ‘Three Little Birds’, ‘One Love/People Get Ready’ and, of course, the title track.

Exodus catapulted Bob Marley into the international mainstream and the hearts of humankind. Released in 1977, it swayed with a keys-led vibe and husky, lilting vocals that sounded like no reggae before it. Split into two parts, thematically, the collection found Marley tackling religious politics on the heavyweight jams Natural Mystic and So Much Things to Say. Revealing his softer side for the first time, he let his voice dance across themes of sex and relationships with the flawless, feel-good anthems Three Little Birds and One Love/People Get Ready.

Exodus, commonly considered as Marley’s opus, was released in 1977, after Marley’s biggest commercial success in America, the mostly unremarkable Rastaman Vibration. Marley finally managed to grow from being the cult hero of hazy-eyed frat boys to being a legitimate star, and easily the most successful and identifiable reggae star at the time. But the biggest event of this time period was in December of 1976. Two days before Marley was set to play the Smile Jamaica concert, which was organized by the prime minister of said country, Marley and his wife were gunned down inside his house

In 1999, Time magazine declared Bob Marley 's Exodus (Island Records), released on June 3, 1977, the best album of the 20th Century. Whether any one album (even one as significant as Exodus is within Marley's esteemed catalog) can justifiably merit such a sweeping and nearly incalculable designation is a topic for vigorous debate. During their 14-month London sojourn Bob Marley and the Wailers recorded numerous songs, which Chris Blackwell divided into two albums, Exodus and its follow-up, Kaya, released in 1978.
