President Obama has Swagg!!
It was “showtime” at the Apollo last night Jan. 19 as President Barack Obama showed off his singing talents to Al Green’s classic “Let’s Stay Together” during a fundraiser at the legendary Harlem theater,
Following the performances, Obama took the stage, saying” “it’s good to know that the Reverend Al Green was here…” and then letting loose with the first few bars of Green’s hit song. After the president sang “I … I’m so in love with you…” the audience cheered, and the president looked off stage, presumably to his staff, saying: “those guys didn’t think I would do it! I told you I was gonna do it! And the Sandman did not come out.”
The Apollo was the third stop in a trio of New York fundraisers for the president’s re-election campaign, starting with a pair of events at Daniel Restaurant on Manhattan’s upper east side, followed by a $35,000 per ticket soiree at Spike Lee’s house, and finally, the Apollo Theater concert and fundraiser, which included performances by neo-soul artist India.Arie, and Green.
