NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ BAILEYS Entertainment) - The makers of BAILEYS Irish
Cream Liqueur, the No. 1 selling cream liqueur in the world, today announced the U.S. television premiere of BAILEYS Entertainment Presents Get Together with John Legend. The hour-long special will feature concert performances, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, and candid interviews with multi-platinum selling, five-time GRAMMY award-winner
John Legend along with artists from his new label Homeschool Records, including U.K. breakout hip hop star Estelle, vaudeville-style performers The

The concert performances for the special were filmed in New York on November 9, during one of several stops on this fall's BAILEYS GET TOGETHER Tour with John Legend and Friends.
'We had a very successful tour with BAILEYS last year,' Legend said. 'I'm looking forward to getting together again with my fans and introducing them to some incredible new artists this time around on the upcoming television special on TV One.'
'BAILEYS is proud of its affiliation with John Legend, a true star whose music and attitude is the perfect match for our brand and synonymous with the BAILEYS experience,' said Yvonne Briese, Marketing Director, BAILEYS. 'As we expand the footprint of BAILEYS GET TOGETHER through the launch of the TV One documentary, we also help John to introduce exciting new artists from his Homeschool Records label.'
During the TV broadcast, viewers will have a front-row seat for the concert, and get up close and personal with Legend as cameras roll behind the scenes. Legend brings his musical family together in the studio, at the label and on stage and viewers will see Legend from a new perspective, as the label owner committed to developing gifted new talent.
The December 16th debut comes on the heels of the highly successful two-part fall concert series, BAILEYS GET TOGETHER Tour with Jill Scott and BAILEYS GET TOGETHER Tour with John Legend and Friends.
