Not sure when Drake started getting more widespread recognition.
Was it before the Fruit Tree box set?
I'm not sure when his legend spread, but plenty people were certainly aware of him from early in his career, due to the inclusion of songs on Island samplers Nice Enough to Eat, Bumpers and El Pea (1969, 1970 & 1971).
Sadly this wasn't enough for him to gain much traction with the record-buying public at the time.
