The article's picture is poor; it mostly shows the piano he's playing! How about something like the photo he used on his debut album, or pretty much any other photo of him.

l just met John's dad today and found out that John graduated from HS at age 16, and UPenn at age 20. His dad is full of energy and life. l can tell where he gets his strength from, a strong family background.

Is there any evidence to back up the claims about John Legend's mathematical career, explicitly, his contributions to the Riemann Hypothesiss?

[edit] He dresses like he sounds: smooth.

This seems like it is a quote from the above article? Is it just poorly attributed? Jacketed 06:03, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Just recently added anon POV commentary; now reverted. AUTiger ʃ ^talk/_work 06:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey does anyone know what vocal range he is, he sounds kinda too low for tenor but still manages with quite high notes, baritenor?

[edit] Sued by Classics IV

I heard a John Legend clip on the radio today (Howard Stern Show) in the context of music copyright law and song ripoffs. The John Legend song -- I believe it was called "Save Room", was shown to be a complete copy of "Stormy" by Classics IV. Whether the copy was intentional or not, he was successfully sued by the Classics IV songwriters. It really did sound exactly the same. It *is* the Classics IV song. tharsaile 19:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC) Is it a cover version with different lyrics as stated on the Classics IV wikipedia page? tharsaile 19:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

hmm... it's produced by will.i.am, so i guess it was sampled, and also guess he asked permission, but who knows...check in the liner notes if you have the album.

[edit] Record label

I heard that John Legend has his own record label from several sources. Does anyone know its name?

Okay, nevermind. I just found out that it is called Homeschool. Blackjays1 14:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] R&B VS Neo Soul

I guees he better suits Neo Soul style instead of more generic R&B, so this should be changed in the first lines of the article. Any objections? Netrat_msk (talk) 00:31, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
