John Legend and The Roots cover Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in their latest collaboration with singer/songwriter Melanie Fiona and rapper Common. The track is set to appear on Wake Up–the full collaboration album between Legend and The Roots. Wake Up is set to be released September 21. I’m anxious to hear what the rest of this project sounds like. The Roots and John Legend go together good. Listen and download “Wake Up” below.
