"Could You Be Loved" is a famous song by Bob Marley & The Wailers. It was released in 1980 on their last album Uprising and is one of the many songs on Bob Marley & The Wailers greatest hits album Legend.

Even today the song remains popular, and is classed alongside his other hits such as, "Redemption Song" and "One Love/People Get Ready". It was written in 1979 on an airplane in which The Wailers were experimenting on guitar and eventually came up with "Could You Be Loved".

"Could You Be Loved" went to no.6 and no.56 respectively on the Club Play Singles and Black Singles charts.

In the middle of the song background singers quote a verse from Bob Marley's first single Judge Not: "The road of life is rocky And you may stumble too. So while you point a finger, someone else is judging you"

Marley's sons Damien and Stephen Marley recorded a remix version for the hit movie Blue Crush
