John Legend- Motherless Child (live)

Here's a live performance of the famous song, "Motherless Child", from the Hope for Haiti telethon last week. John Legend actually recorded this song before he was signed on a live album he did at the Knitting Factory. In this version, Legend is accompanied by a a section of strings. Such a beautiful song and very appropriate for the Hope for Haiti Telethon. I've also attached the live version i mentioned above so that you can enjoy both renditions. Peace and love....
