Remembering The Mighty Hannibal, born James Timothy Shaw on August 9, 1939, in Atlanta, Georgia – he died on January 30, 2014. He was an American R&B, soul and funk singer, songwriter and record producer Known for his showmanship, and outlandish costumes often incorporating a pink turban, several of his songs carried social or political themes. His biggest hit was "Hymn No. 5," a commentary on the effects of the Vietnam War on servicemen, which was banned on radio.

I had to find where John Legend got his ‘Who Did That To You’ sample from.
