A Real Legend at Bumbershoot
Posted by The Vera Project
John Legend played to a large audience which may have exceeded the one The Shins brought in two days ago. Legend came out wearing bright white pants which shined with help from the sun's rays. Smiling and clapping his hands he looked around the enormous crowd and then sat at his piano and the band started jamming.
Every once in a while Legend would leap from his seat at the piano and stand straight in front of the crowd, clapping his hands while the fans clapped along in unison. Legend's walk and voice are smooth and sultry, which was apparent when he slid across the stage with his hips shaking. He has the gospel, r&b, and soul credentials which make him a proper heir to Marvin Gaye's throne.
