Eighteen years ago, the three-time Grammy winning album “Get Lifted” launched the career of a young singer with the voice of an angel. His self-assured poise as a crooner and his talents as a songwriter have established John Legend as the worthy successor to great soul singers such as Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding. Above all, the Ohio-based songwriter has played a major role in the revival of R&B, mixing the genre with hip-hop while preserving an organic sound. Since then, he has had a string of hits around the world, igniting the charts with the romantic ballad “All Of Me” (2013), played in various television series and then the musical “La La Land”, and has won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the song “”Glory” from the film “Selma” about the life of Martin Luther King. Seven years after his last appearance in Montreux, John Legend returns to thrill the Stravinski.
