John Legend's first GRAMMY Awards ceremony was a career-defining one. Going into the night as an eight-time GRAMMY nominee, he took home his first three GRAMMYs, including the coveted Best New Artist. Presented by Fiona Apple, Chuck D, and Common, the honor marked a major milestone in the R&B superstar's meteoric rise.
Legend also won Best R&B Album for Get Lifted and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his breakthrough hit "Ordinary People," which he performed on the telecast. The night was just the beginning of a storied career for Legend, who has since won 12 GRAMMYs — and achieved the prestigious EGOT status.
