Praising legend's enthralling record (6)
I believe the answer is:
single
'record' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'praising legend's enthralling' is the wordplay.
'enthralling' says the answer is hidden in the clue (gripping the letters).
'SINGLE' is hidden in the letters of 'praising legends'.
(Other definitions for single that I've seen before include "Just one - on one's own" , "Concentrating on only one aim" , "one > individual" , "Ticket To Ride < : > hit" , "Like bachelor" .)
