Parlourmagazine.com recently sat down with Legend for an interview that covered such topics as strip clubs and his five favorite artists. Excerpts are listed below:
On his sexually driven song "Good Morning"...
**"I was writing with India Arie's music director, Drew Ramsey, in Atlanta and he played a song called "Let's Make Good Morning Love." So I said, let's change it around to say "Good Morning" so it wouldn't be so obvious. It's a good song for couples because anybody that sleeps with somebody knows that sometimes you wake up and you want to do it. 'Good morning' is a slow stripper song, so it might have to be the lap dance song. It's not for the stage, but it could be sexy for the lap dance."
On strip clubs....
**"I've outgrown strip clubs, I'm 29. I just feel like it's a disappointment because you just leave. I'd rather grab something for real and not just get teased."
On his top five artists...
**"Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Beatles. I'm tempted to say other people but they don't have enough material because they've only had like one record. Like Jeff Buckley only released one, 'Grace,' and I love it. Lauryn Hill only released one, 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,' and I love it, I can listen to those anytime. But their body of work doesn't compare to the likes of the great. I'll say Lauryn with some emptiness in my heart because I want to hear more. But Aretha Franklin would probably out rank her anyway. I loved Aretha's early 70's songs like 'Day Dreaming' and the whole 'Amazing Grace' album."
