LIFT TICKET – Common Ground was Taken Higher by John Legend’s Performance
LANSING, MI — Singer John Legend, his band and two back-up singers had been entertaining the audience at Common Ground for nearly 60 minutes, when suddenly Legend’s musical company left the stage. All that remained was a piano in front of him. The stage went black. One soft white spotlight fell on Legend from overhead. His fingers began to walk the keys to the tune of a familiar melody, triggering screams from the audience that reached deafening levels. John Legend performed his hit single "Ordinary People." And this, like all the songs before and after, was performed with passion, power and perfection.
