Sam Smith & John Legend team for Comic Relief single

Brit and Grammy award winning superstar Sam Smith collaborates with Oscar winner John Legend to record a very special version of Sam’s song Lay Me Down. Click here to watch/listen.

The original song is from Sam’s multi-platinum debut album In the Lonely Hour and this new version is being re-released as a one off single to raise money for Comic Relief (UK). The track is available from today to download on iTunes.

UK born Sam Smith and American born John Legend will perform the ballad together for the first and only time on Comic Relief – Face the Funny on Friday 13th March in the UK.

The pair recorded the track together in Los Angeles, earlier this year. The single is produced by Jimmy Napes and Steve Fitzmaurice and was written by Sam Smith, James Napier and Elvin Smith.

Universal will donate 100% of its profits from the sale of the single to Comic Relief, the British charity behind Red Nose Day.
