John Legend and Colombian rock musician Juanes performed live at the 58th NBA All-Star Game on February 15, 2009 in Phoenix, Arizona. See video and photos here. The music stars performed “If You’re Out There” at the halftime show at US Airways Center.
Legend, a five-time Grammy Award winning R&B singer-songwriter, debuted the single at the Democratic National Convention 2008 (DNC) in Denver, Colorado performing along with the Agape Choir. Legend characterizes the song as “anthemic call-to-action and evocation of human potential.” (See: Video & Photos: John Legend Democratic National Convention 2008 Performance “If You’re Out There”)
The single also appears on Legend’s third studio album, Evolver, in stores now. The duo with the 17-time Latin Grammy winner Juanes was their first performance of the track. This marks Legend’s second performance at an NBA All-Star Game; he performed in 2006 with Carrie Underwood.
“I’m excited to be part of the festivities,” Legend said. “I’m particularly happy to be involved in the NBA Cares initiative.
“I wrote If You’re Out There for just this kind of effort and I hope I’m part of mobilizing NBA players and fans to give back to their communities and think outside of themselves.”
