EGOT-winning superstar brings 'A Night of Songs and Stories' to Alabama this weekend.
Published: Oct. 11, 2024, 4:32 p.m.Accompanying their church choir, a young pianist named John Stephens, later known as John Legend , and his brother were a two-person orchestra.
The handsome University of Pennsylvania grad was also the first Black man to become an “EGOT” winner -- that rare air of artists who’ve won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards. He’s also married to supermodel, author and TV personality Chrissy Teigen, with whom he has four children. Legend’s fame swelled further after he became a coach on TV singing competition “The Voice” in 2019. If he wasn’t so charming and talented, it would be easy to hate for all this.
I was with the same management as the Black Eyes Peas at the time when I wrote it, and so will.i.am of , and I had written together a bit before, including “She Don’t Have to Know” for the “Get Lifted” album. Oh, wow. I’ve definitely written on the Rhodes before, and I owned a Rhodes for a long time, and I would play live with the Rhodes quite a bit. So songs like “Stay With You,” and a lot of stuff from “Get Lifted” were on a Rhodes.
Being a coach on “The Voice” for so many years now, was there some advice you got from a mentor in the business early in your career that’s impacted how you coach these new artists on the show? Speaking of your artistry, you did the song “Glory” with Common for the soundtrack for “Selma” . When you play “Glory” live now at your shows, has that song gained resonance in the 10 years since that film came out, given all the stuff that’s happened in the world?
