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....

Darondo- Didn't I

Darondo's another dude on that throwback sound. This Bay Area native has been around since the 70's and this song, "Didn't I", was re-released a few years back. Many compare Darondo to a mix between Al Green and Ronald Isley. If you liked Lee Fields, you'll mos def love this dude.

Peace,

Lalo
