The video finally arrives for John Legend’s cover of ‘Wake Up Everybody’, his soulful cover of a Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes classic. Mostly a performance clip, this new version includes a verse from Common and production from The Roots. Wake Up Everybody is the first single from “Wake Up!” , the collaborative album Legend is releasing next month with The Roots. Old song, relevant message, excellent cover. Make sure you cop the album when it drops September 21.
Man, this new JL joint is fire! Great collobo with Ms. Fiona, two great singers with a dash of hip hop courtesy of Common. I love it!
