A covers album that breathes new life into classic 70s soul songs.
This album is a collaboration between soul singer John Legend and one of hip-hop's top live bands, The Roots.
This album reinterprets songs by Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, Curtis Mayfield, and others, including Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "Wake Up Everybody." The Roots' raw, warm performances and John Legend's soulful, honest vocals create a contemporary sound while maintaining respect for the originals.
