Artist:John Legend
Song:Ordinary People
Album:Get Lifted
R & B singer John Legend was born John Stephens in Springfield, OH. He grew up singing and playing piano in church and eventually moved east and played piano on Lauryn Hill's Everything Is Everything in 1998. He would play sessions for a few years but recorded a solo album on the independent DCN label in 2003. Kanye West heard something he liked and signed him to Columbia and gave him the name John Legend. Ordinary People was a big chart hit and was nominated for a Grammy. Legend's new CD Once Again will be out next month. Because John Legend writes and plays a lot of his own material, he has the potential for a lengthy career in music as long as he doesn't try to be something he isn't. It doesn't look to be a problem as Get Lifted was a hit on its own terms and Legend doesn't appear to be subject to flaky trends.
