John Legend Puts ‘Soul Train’ Spin (Complete With Afro) On ‘Bigger Love’ for BET’s ‘Saving Our Selves’ Benefit

John Legend led the “soul train” at BET’s Saving Our Selves: A BET COVID-19 Relief Effort special on Wednesday (April 22) night.

Dressed in a suave suit, yellow-tinted sunglasses and, yes, a full afro, the EGOT member delivered his brand-new tropical tune “Bigger Love,” as a group of dancers (virtually) grooved to the happy melody.
