Starting today, get into the holiday spirit with critically acclaimed, multi-platinum singer-songwriter and EGOT winner, John Legend’s rendition of "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)." Released as an Amazon Original, the new track is only available to stream and purchase on Amazon Music, globally. The song was originally released in 1971 by John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir.
Legend’s cover was recorded at Blakeslee Studio in North Hollywood, CA and produced by Raphael Saadiq, featuring additional vocals by Chrissy Teigen and daughter Luna, and harmonies from the children’s choir of The Fernando Pullum Community Arts Center, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide quality performing arts instruction to at-risk youth and help them build self-esteem, develop civic responsibility, and achieve academic success.
