While he may be a legend in the music world, John Legend's real name is slightly less legendary. Do you think you know the real last name behind this singer, songwriter, producer, actor, and philanthropist?

John Roger Stephens was born December 28, 1978 in Springfield, Ohio. His stage name comes from an idea given to him by the poet J. Ivy who said, "I heard your music and it reminds me of that music from the old school. You sound like one of the legends."
