John Legend Är #1 För Första Gången På Billboard Och Sverigetopplistan 2014-05-09 13:13 CEST John Legend är #1 för första gången på Billboard och Sverigetopplistan John Legends pianoballad ”All of Me” är etta på den svenska singeltopplistan och på den amerikanska topplistan Billboard Hot 100. Detta är den niofaldige Grammyvinnaren John Legends första etta någonsin i både Sverige och Amerika. ”All of Me” har i sex veckor legat på Billboards andraplats, men denna vecka puttar Legend ner Pharrells “Happy” som regerat på topplistan i tio veckor. Väntan har varit lång. John Legends förstaplacering på Billboard kommer nästan exakt 10 år efter att han för första gången debuterade på topplistan den 22 maj 2004. ”All of Me” har sålt platina i Sverige och är Legends bäst säljande singel med mer än 3,5 miljoner sålda exemplar i Amerika och totalt 4,5 miljoner i hela världen. ”All of Me” har inte bara blivit etta på andra sidan Atlanten och i Sverige utan toppat listor i bland annat Australien, Portugal, Irland, England och Nederländerna. I skrivande stund innehar låten ”All of Me” femteplatsen och albumet ”Love In The Future” sjätteplatsen på Spotify i Sverige. Även DJ Tiëstos remix hyllas och klättrar på listorna, ”All of Me – Tiësto Birthday Treatment Remix – Radio Edit” ligger på sjätteplats på Spotifys singellista. Låten ”All Of Me” har John Legend skrivit tillsammans med Toby Gad och producerat med Dave Tozer. Låten är en kärlekshyllning till John Legends fru, supermodellen Chrissy Teigen och videon till ”All of Me” är filmad under parets bröllopsresa vid Lake Como i Italien. Den vackra videon som i slutet innehåller delar från Legends och Teigens vigsel har setts över 97 miljoner gånger på YouTube. John Legend befinner sig just nu i mitten av sin Nordamerikanska turné ”An Evening with John Legend: All of Me Tour”, där Legend bjuder på en intim konsert med akustisk sättning, gitarrist och en stråkkvartett. I en recension nyligen beskrev Billboard turnén som “one of the best concerts ever.” Visa inbäddat innehåll här www.johnlegend.com Kontaktpersoner Janina Sibbel-Becker Presskontakt PR Manager - utländska artister [email protected] 073-643 45 55 08-412 17 00.

  • Observations About Leadership, Service, and Being a Human at Work
    observations about leadership, service, and being a human at work FOREW0RD When Geoff asked me to write this, I accepted with delight and then immediately Googled “how to write a foreword.” The internet told me that it’s my job to introduce his work to the world, which seems like an awfully big responsibility. Geoff and I are unconventional friends, though, so I think it fitting that my contribution here sidesteps tradition a bit. I possess absolutely no authority that qualifies me to introduce the actual content of this book, so I won’t insult your intelligence by pretending I do. What I will do, with absolute confidence, is endorse its author. I could go on for an annoyingly long time about the kind of person he is, listing the many reasons I find him extraordinary until I’ve exhausted both you and all the known English superlatives. Instead of that, I’m going to tell you the most important thing you need to know about him before you start reading. Geoff is the most genuine person I’ve ever met. He passionately means every word you’re about to read and the tenets of his work are principles by which he actively lives. You’ll see some good examples of that throughout these pages, but I’m here to assure you that none of it is lip service – it’s legit. I’m lucky enough to get to witness it daily, so I could definitely tell you if he was faking. He’s not. I can’t guarantee that reading this will change your life as much as knowing Geoff has changed mine, but it’s a damn good place to start.

    Apollo Theater Presents John Legend and Salamishah Tillet in Conversation On the Artist’s Duty Wednesday, September 23 at 7pm On Apollo’s Digital Stage “An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times. I think that is true of painters, sculptors, poets, musicians. As far as I’m concerned, it’s their choice, but I CHOOSE to reflect the times and situations in which I find myself.” – Nina Simone Harlem, NY – September 8, 2020 – On September 23 at 7:00pm ET, the Apollo Theater presents In Conversation: John Legend and Salamishah Tillet. The event will be presented free of charge on the Apollo Digital Stage at www.ApolloTheater.org. Inspired by their mutual role model Nina Simone and her thoughts on the artist’s duty to reflect contemporary issues, Legend and Tillet will discuss art and social justice, the roots of Legend’s activism and what he believes the responsibilities of artists are at this critical moment in American history. For over 86 years, the Apollo has served as an incubator for social and civic advocacy in Harlem, and the Black community at-large. This conversation extends the non-profit Theater’s commitment to using its internationally renowned stage to amplify Black voices and stimulate timely conversations on race and social justice.

Charles OP: Death Comes for the Archbishop: A Novel of Love & Death 389 Death Comes for 'the Archbishop a Nove! of Love & Death BY SISTER PETER DAMIAN CHARLES, O.P. WILLA CATHER'S masterful novel, Death Comes for the Arch~ bishop, contains a strikingly paradoxical relationship between the title, with its 'emphasis on death, and the story, with its stress on life and love. This subtle dichotomy of the human condition-love and death, Eros and Thanatos-affords, ,then, a basis upon which to examine the work. Nearing the end of his life, the narrative's hero, Archbishop Latour, says to his young friend, Bernard Ducrot, "'I shall not die of a cold, my son, I shall die of having lived'."1 One might well read there, 'of having loved: for that is precisely what this novel portrays. Miss Cather herself gives the clue when she discusses the style of the novel in a letter written to Commonweal in November 1927: I had all my life wanted to do something in the style of legend which is absolutely the reverse of dramatic treatment.
