John Legend is a popular African-American artist who carries sounds that are familiar from the periods of the 1920s and 1930s.  His style sounds more jazz/soul and his voice is originally enticing.  I enjoy all of his songs because they have a great rhythm to them and I never get tired of listening to his voice.  This fits into a classical Afro-Amer song because of his use of call and response, motives, and syncopation.
