John Legend, the Roots, Melanie Fiona=bottomless pit of talent
Love the video!
I love the "Do the Right Thing" homage in the video, based on the end of Spike Lee's movie where the radio deejay says "Wake Up!" Very well directed. What a great message in the song as well as video? We need more positive messages out there right now without feeling preached to. Loved it!
Love it!
My dad would always play the Teddy Pendergrass version when I was little. Still such a relevant message. I'm glad to see it covered by such talented musicians too!!

Legend left Ohio at 16 to attend college in Philadelphia, and it was there that he first found a larger audience. Not yet out of his teens, Legend was tapped to play piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" in 1998....
