this entire album is fantastic. i'm a metal fan by trade, but this really caught my ear as the modern day rebirth of funk and soul. yeah, covers city, not modern writing, but who cares? they not only do the originals justice, they make them large, real and in your face again. great collaborative effort, excellent album, and just as solid live as in the studio.

I really thought that John Legend , could not out do himself, but when he was with

"the Roots" He really outdid himself.... In a word Awesome! I love this song!

Owen Biddle is great on this album and this performance...I will miss him playing in the roots

If this turns people onto the Curtis Mayfield version it has been a success in my opinion,

I am not dissing any musical artist here,

@lurchyg John is in there. James Brown was more of a entertainer than a singer . John already a Legend hence the name.
