VIDEO: In the Memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. John Legend sings U2

I'm currently working on a short Martin Luther King biography which I hope to share with you soon. This man's non-violent struggle for justice and equality impacted the lives of millions of people and paved the way for possibilities that now seem within grasp. His stance against racism and the Vietnam war, his heartfelt, eloquent words will always be relevant.

The talented John Legend, a Barack Obama supporter who collaborated on the Yes We Can video, has recorded a beautiful new rendition of "In the Name of Love", U2's moving tribute to Dr. King from their 1984 album, The Unforgettable Fire.

John Legend performs PRIDE (In The Name of Love)

In the Name of Love

Lyrics by U2

One man come in the name of love

One man come and go

One man come, he to justify

One man to overthrow

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence

One man he resist

One man washed on an empty beach.

One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

(nobody like you...)

Early evening, April 4

Shot rings out in the Memphis sky

Free at last, they took your life

They could not take your pride

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

In the name of love

What more in the name of love...
