Downfront2 – This R&B singing Legend is not happy with his life. Despite having worldwide fame and a great singing career, his family and hangers-on are wearing him out. He has to constantly stay on the road to support over 50 family members and leeches.
John Legend.
downfront2 blinds aren’t to blind. i think you win w/Legend
too
(pleading for an edit button)
yes, he needs to tell some of them to get a job. jl
Despite his name and smooth voice, I don’t think I’d call him a legend just yet…I’m thinking Smokey Robinson.
But that is Legend capitalised in the item… John Legend then?
definitely Smokey!! Good guess!!
I’d say B.B. King but he’s strictly blues and would be called a “musician” instead of a “singer.”
I’m liking the Smokey Robinson guess.
BB used to tour so much to pay for an accident his tour bus was involved in. A man was killed. No insurance. Then he toured to pay for his many many out of wedlock children. Now, I think he just likes the money.
No, he just likes to play. And he knows that he doesn’t have a great deal of time left.
A travesty that Rolling Stone put him in their list of the top 100 guitarists – he admits he can’t play chords!
Al Green
For me, this guess makes the most sense. Smokey should be able to rest on his laurels given the humongous number of hit songs he’s authored.
Aaron Neville
I think it’s Solomon Burke. He has 21 children, 14 girls & 7 boys. I’ve seen him play & I heard he sells sandwiches to other musicians at his gigs.
Usher
Whoops! Read right past the “Legend” comment.
Sorry, little Ush-Ush. Never mind.
Makes me sad to think this…. Stevie Wonder?
…he’s gotta be stupid rich from his publishing catalog…
Lionel Richie
…him too – stupid rich from music catalog.
Buddy Guy
I first thought of Usher but he might be a bit too young to be a legend…
What about B.B. King.
He’s blues, not R&B
I think it’s Stevie; he has a huge entourage and lots of kids. No disrespect to Usher, but he’s nowhere near a legend yet. Give him 30 years.
Steve Martin- Why else would he put out a bluegrass album. The man needs money to support his illegitimate children. The man’s a walking Maury Povich show.
Definitely not R&B.
I’m liking Chuck Berry for this.
Is anyone currently touring with John Legend? While I don’t believe it is him, it would explain his name in the blind.
This has to be Raphael Saddiq
