The Players Choir made it look easy on Tuesday night (Aug. 9) during the live qualifying round on America’s Got Talent. The brawny belters followed up their earlier beloved audition cover of Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me” with a contemporary classic that got the attention of the original’s singer: Justin Timberlake.
