John Legend Surprises Church & Shows Them 'How' He 'Got Over'


Before John Legend was "John Legend" he was plain ol' John Stephens. While he attended school at the University of Pennsylvania, he worked his way through by serving as a musical director for several churches. So it was only fitting that he, while visiting the Philadelphia area as the opening act for living legend Sade's North American tour, dropped into West Philly's Calvary Baptist Church and surprised the congregation with a song. The look on the parishioners' faces is priceless as John sings "How I Got Over" from Aretha Franklin's 1972 album Amazing Grace to their delight. Not only does John shine here, but he and the powerful choir truly take it to church and give God all the glory.
