John Legend

John Legend has won nine Grammy Awards, and in 2007, he received the special Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Prior to the release of his debut album, Legend's career gained momentum through a series of successful collaborations with multiple established artists. Legend added his voice to those of other artists, assisting in them reaching chart-topper hits. He lent his voice to Magnetic Man's "Getting Nowhere," Kanye West's "All of the Lights", on Slum Village's "Selfish" and Dilated Peoples' "This Way". Other artists included Jay-Z's "Encore", and he sang backing vocals on Alicia Keys' 2003 song "You Don't Know My Name" and Fort Minor's "High Road". He played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything".

Legend is now setting up the release of his fourth solo album, "Love In The Future." He has a great debut single, "Who Do We Think We Are," another one of his throwback modernized instant soul classics. And he's featuring guest vocals from one of his best hip-hop R&B collaboration buddies Rick Ross.
