John Legend "Green Light" sample question.

I just saw the video for John Legend's song "Green Light" and the keyboard in it sounded a lot like paul mcartneys song " A wonderful christmas time".

Does anybody else think it does too?

Didn't he also put a song out of a sample from the 1960's song STORMY?
This guy's not a rapper so what gives?

Didn't Jimi Hendrix cover "All Along the Watchtower" from the 60s?

Is he a rapper, what gives?

Every time I see the name John Legend, I think I'm seeing something about John Lennon's compilation "Lennon Legend", but then I'm disappointed.

That's all I have...

Using words someone else wrote and "YOUR OWN" playing style is different than writing words and using the beat from a hit song and then giving it a new song title. Don't cha think?
