John Legend & Common

Bring It Home at the Oscars

"Be the light that you want people to see"

Two shining stars received their stripes or should we say, shiny Oscar tonight for the song, "GLORY" for the Film, Selma. The movie was excellent, passionate and very real. And so wasn't Common and John Legend's stirring performance and moving acceptance speech as they won the Academy Award for Best Original Song tonight.

To God be the...Glory.
