"Sirs Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice and I joined that group when we won an Emmy for our production of their legendary show Jesus Christ Superstar. "Before tonight, only 12 people had won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony in competitive categories," Legend wrote on Instagram. (EGOT stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards.) Legend, along with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, shared the Outstanding Live Variety Special Emmy for Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert. On September 9, 2018, Legend made history as the youngest person ever - and the first African American man - to join the exclusive EGOT club. On October 7, 2016, Legend debuted a new single, "Love Me Now." He followed in December with his fifth solo studio album, Darkness and Light, which features collaborations with Miguel and Chance the Rapper. The tune also won a Grammy and an Academy Award, with both artists using their Oscar acceptance speeches to highlight contemporary issues that connected to the Civil Rights Movement. 1 ballad "All of Me" as well as tracks like "Made to Love" and "You & I (Nobody in the World)." In 2015, the songwriter, along with rapper Common, won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song-"Glory"-from the film Selma. Acclaim for 'All of Me' and 'Glory'Ģ013 saw Legend release his next solo album, Love in the Future, which featured the No. Later that year, Legend contributed a new track to Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained.
The musical stars coached and performed with the contestants on the show. He worked alongside Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke and Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland.

These include Gary Clark, Jr., who distinguishes the otherwise dragging ballad "Wild" with a solo that sounds like it had to come out of him - whereas Legend plays the dutiful professional - and Rapsody, who slides into position on the Al Green throwback "Remember Us" with some of her grade-A narrative wordplay. Additionally, Legend is upstaged by some of his guests. Most of the remainder sounds like it went through an extended layover in Songland (a bunch seemingly chiseled into shape by committee), were urgent attempts for placement in stylistic and seasonal playlists (including two dancehall crossover tracks with Di Genius), or were peculiar ideas (fusing trap and doo wop, utilizing the same David Axelrod production sampled by Dr. "Conversations in the Dark" is one of Legend's best ballads, atmospheric and devotional with just enough power and specificity in the words to weaken cynical romantics.
