Legend Reaches Legendary Status

Columbia recording artist John Legend recently held a fan event at New York’s amazing 837 Samsung Event Space. During the festivities, the charming and affable Mr. Legend debuted five new songs from his forthcoming album, Darkness And Light and also treated the audience to an intimate piano performance of three songs, including the charted-at-five-formats single, “Love Me Now.” Everyone agreed it was a magical evening.

Afterwards, Legend and the Columbia staff assembled for this lovely souvenir photo, (l-r): Jim Burruss, SVP of Operations; Brady Bedard, VP of Alternative; Pete Cosenza, SVP of Adult Formats; Matt Stevens, Sr. Director of Pop; Jon Borris, SVP of Pop; John Legend; Cynthia Johnson, VP of Urban; Lee Leipsner, EVP of Promotion; Lisa Sonkin, VP of Triple A and Gary “Bolo” Sargeant, RPM of Urban.
