Rutgers’ LeGrand tries his hand at musical collaboration
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) -- Former Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand is turning his attention to a new stage.
The Home News Tribune reports the former Rutgers football star has collaborated with fellow Rutgers alum Carolyn Marie on "Take Back The Power," a song that appears on her upcoming debut five-track mini-album.
LeGrand co-wrote the song and also sings on the track, which is about having the strength to overcome adversity. He suffered a spinal cord injury making a tackle during a game in 2010 that left him paralyzed below the shoulders.
The song will be made available this week through pre-orders, then via broader release to all digital distributors March 19.
A launch party is scheduled for April 23, with proceeds going to Team LeGrand of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
