John Legend is Grammy award-winning artist and philanthropist; two good reasons for us to share with you our Favorites Tweets @johnlegend. We liked his two albums Get Lifted (‘Stay With You’) and Evolver (‘Take Me Away’), and we are very excited about his new one: Wake Up! which will be released on September 21, 2010.

John Legend is also a philanthropist, he founded the Show Me Campaign:

Created by Grammy award-winning artist John Legend, the Show Me Campaign is a nonprofit organization that fights poverty using proven solutions. Believing that equal access to quality education is the civil rights issue of our time, the Show Me Campaign fights for education reform in the United States. In Africa, Show Me works with Millennium Promise to provide clean water, health care, education and other basic tools that break the cycle of poverty.
