John Legend Answers Donna from Sacramento's question for the John Legend Network

John Legend Proud Of Involvement In 'hope For Haiti Now'

Singer-songwriter John Legend, who served as a presenter on the 52nd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday (January 31st), says he was happy to be part of the multi-network telethon Hope For Haiti Now. He explained what it was like to perform on the January 22nd all-star event: "Hope For Haiti Now I thought was a beautiful night and really well put together and I was very proud to be a part of it. And I thought the song that I did was very fitting for the sow and I felt very good about the preformance and what we were able to do that night. So it was an honor to be part of that."

Legend added that George Clooney and the producers specifically asked Legend to sing the Negro spiritual "(Sometimes I Feel Like A) Motherless Child" for the telethon. Legend said: "They did some research, they went on YouTube and found that song, 'cause I used to perform it years ago before I had a record deal. And I was surprised that they asked me to do that song because it wasn't out on one of my major albums, it was just on some earlier work that I did before I had a deal. And they found it and they said, 'We want you to do that song. And I was surprised but when they said it, it clicked, I was like 'Wow -- that would be perfect, actually.'"

The Hope For Haiti Now telecast raised some $57 million, while downloads of the collection of all performances raised the tally to more than $70 million and the CD debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200.

Legend is keeping busy preparing for his own CD follow-up to 2008's Evolver, which will be a live acoustic set with The Roots.

John Legend's highlights from Grammy night

Singer John Legend was a great fan of the performances at the Grammy Awards.

The R & B crooner said he absolutely loved Grammy winner Beyonce's performance and enjoyed duet by Sir Elton John and Lady GaGa.

He also said he thinks singer Pink, whose performance spinning atop the audience garnered a standing ovation, is "kind of underrated" as an artist and he found her performance great.

Legend, who said he'll be performing at the White House in February in honor of Black History Month, put the kibosh on a rumor out there that he will be appearing in a movie about the late, legendary soul singer Marvin Gaye. Ditto for any talk that he is participating in the remake of "We Are the World".

But while he's not connected with either of those projects, Legend said he had a great time playing with The Roots during a pre-Grammy party and is now he working on an album with the group.
