John Legend & Kelly Clarkson Did a Soul-Healing Duet of a Ray Charles Classic
The two powerhouse singers got together for the duet before joining The Voice as Coaches.
Back in 2012, before their stints as Coaches on The Voice, vocal powerhouses Kelly Clarkson and John Legend joined forces for a soulful rendition of ''You Don't Know Me'' by Ray Charles.
During the cover, Legend crooned in a jazzy tone before Clarkson jumped in, hitting her signature belting notes perfectly. They then sang in unison, their voices gliding through the pleasant arrangement.

''You Don't Know Me'' by Ray Charles lyrics
You give your hand to me, and then, you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me, no
No, you don't know the one who dreams of you each night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
To you, I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
No, you don't know me
I never knew the art of making love
Though, my heart aches with love for you, yeah
I'm afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me, and then, you say goodbye
And then, I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy
I know you'll never know the one who loved you so
No, you don't know me
But, I never knew the art of making love
Though, my heart aches with love for you
I'm afraid and shy, and I let your chance go by
A chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
And I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know, yeah, the one who loved you so
No, you don't know me
I say you'll never ever know the one who loved you so
No, you don't know me
No, you don't know me
