What Becomes a Legend Most is a 1989 album by Jermaine Stewart.
This album would be Stewart's last official album. He fully recorded the 1992 album "Set Me Free" however it was never released. In his final years, he began recording the new album "Believe In Me" until his death in 1997.[1] The recordings for this album was released in 1999 on the compilation A Tribute to Jermaine Stewart, Attention, released under his own brother's label.[2]
The album continued Stewart's commercial decline, failing to make any impact in Europe or America. Stewart's previous 1987 album Say It Again was a fair European hit.[3]
Only two singles were released from the album, "Tren de Amor" and "Every Woman Wants To". Both singles failed to make any impact, only peaking at #97 and #95 in the UK, respectively.[4]
