It's not legendary, but still pretty good

Here we have the music video by John Legend for "All of Me" from 2013, so this one has its 5th anniversary this year and it also runs for approximately 5 minutes. At the very end you will see that this is from the time that Legend and his female co-lead in here, Chrissy Teigen, got married and now in 2018 they are still together. Good for them. The music video is basically in its entirety in black-and-white and it is a romantic ballad of course. I must say I enjoyed it. It succeeds with its simplicity and the essential approach at the core of it. It is pretty sweet and not only that, it is also well-executed and nice to listen to. I enjoy Legend's voice a lot. He is one of the very few big stars (if you can even call him that) who really are not artificial at all, but have a voice with which they are not only hitting all the right notes, but the voice also has a tone to it, a special color if that's the right term that makes it sound so mellow that you just cannot listen away. And the music video here fits it very nicely too, so my suggestion is to not just buy the record, but watch the video while listening to the song. Certainly closer to a ****/***** than to a **/***** and easily among the better, if not best, music videos I have come across recently. Nice to see quality prevail as this has over a billion views on Youtube and Legend went on to win an Oscar for another song afterward. "All of Me" gets an almost euphoric thumbs-up from me. Very refreshing to listen to and you certainly should check it out.
