Last month at a fundraiser at The Apollo, President Barack Obama displayed his music talent when he sung Al Green’s classic hit ‘Let Stay Together’. Obama has openly admitted to being a huge fan of music and different genres but did he ever consider taken his talent further.
Well, Obama showed off his vocal talents once more at the
White House. At the request by blues legends Buddy Guy and B.B. King, Obama joined in to sing a few lines of “Sweet Home Chicago.”
“We were trying to get you to help us sing. I heard you singing Al Green,” blues guitar legend Guy hollered to Obama on Tuesday. “So you started something. You got to keep it up now. You can do it.”
Taking a microphone handed to him by Rolling Stones frontman Jagger, a smiling Obama sang a solo verse of “Sweet Home Chicago” before handing back to the band.The performance was part of a PBS television special marking Black History month that will be broadcast on February 27 as “In Performance at the White House: Red, White and Blues,” said a public broadcaster.
