10 Musicians Who’ve Dedicated Their Music To Transforming Society - Page 2
John Legend
“Glory” isn’t the first socially-conscious tune John Legend’s lent his voice to. In 2008, Legend sang vocals on the Will.I.Am — produced track “Yes We Can” for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and one year later he and The Roots put out a collaborative album titled “Wake Up!” to reflect the temperature of the country at the time and the issues that needed addressing. The project won two NAACP awards.
