VH1's Legends

VH1's Legends

Legends (aka VH1's Legends) is a music biography television series on VH1.

Originally sponsored by AT&T, this series documents those artists (living or dead) who have made a significant contribution to music history to be profiled on the show (as opposed to VH1's companion series, "Behind The Music", which profiles mostly moderately significant artists).

The show goes in-depth into the entire career of the artist(s), with each episode containing rare concert and music video footage.

The initial episodes were narrated by Kris Kristofferson, however other narrators have included Sheryl Crow, Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith), Ossie Davis, Levon Helm, Henry Rollins and James Justice. Recent episodes have been hosted by William Baldwin (husband of singer Chynna Phillips).

This is a partial list of artists who have appeared in episodes of the series:
*Aretha Franklin
*Bruce Springsteen
*The Grateful Dead
*Marvin Gaye
*Johnny Cash
*Curtis Mayfield
*Janis Joplin
*The Bee Gees
*The Doors
*The Who
*Eric Clapton
*U2
*Queen
*Pink Floyd
*Jimi Hendrix
*Led Zeppelin
*Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
*Neil Young
*Tina Turner
*Elton John
*John Lennon
*Stevie Ray Vaughan
*George Clinton

Incidentally, Tina Turner, Elton John, Pink Floyd and John Lennon are the only artists so far to have been profiled on both "Legends" and "Behind The Music".
