John Legend

John Legend has frequently cited Stevie as a major influence on his music, and you don't have to listen too hard to hear it. Legend covered "Don't You Worry About a Thing" for the Hitch soundtrack, and there's an undeniable Stevie-ness to Legend's "Everyday People, which recalls "Mon Cherie Amour." The two even acknowledged the similarity by performing a blend of the two songs onstage together at the 2005 BET Awards.
