John Legend’s expressive, thoughtful vocal interpretations have earned him countless awards and fans. The Roots fuse their work with elements of funk so unique that they have become one of the most respected bands in the world. Tonight Austin City Limits features the musical collaboration between these two creative forces.The Grammy Award-winning Legend has taken the world by storm in the past half-decade with his hits “Heaven,” “Green Light,” and “Ordinary People.” The Roots have also blazed a fiery trail, using jazz and funk-intensive live instrumentation to fuel their politically-charged hip-hop, winning a Grammy and becoming the house band for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon along the way.The two R&B titans convened to make Wake Up!, which comes out later this year. This album features a unique spin on tunes from stars (Marvin Gaye, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Donny Hathaway) and underground legends (Ernie Hines, Baby Huey & the Babysitters, Mike James Kirkland) plus one original (“Shine”) as well.
