"All men should be feminists."

This is an actual true fact about me: John Legend's "If You're Out There" is one of my favorite songs. I could pretty much listen to this on a loop for the rest of my life:

And, another actual true fact, I am listening to the song right now as I share with you this story about John Legend:

Legend announced The Sound of Change Live [last week], a concert to raise funds and awareness for Chime for Change, a charity which raises funds to improve the lives of women worldwide.

The gig will be at Twickenham Stadium, south London, on June 1 this year, and will feature performances from Florence & The Machine, Beyoncé, Ellie Goulding and BBC Sound of 2013 band, Haim. Producer and musician Timbaland will also be joining Legend on the line-up.

At a press conference for the event, Legend explained his commitment to the charity, which aims to promote and empower women internationally.

He said: "All men should be feminists. If men care about women's rights the world will be a better place." The singer, who has won nine Grammy awards and has collaborated with Kanye West, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys and The Roots, cited his mother as an inspiration.

Legend said: "We are better off when women are empowered – it leads to a better society."

Well, you know that old saying—if Hillary Clinton AND John Legend say it, it must be true!
