Here s Barack Obama singing the intro to Al Green s Let s Stay Together at a fundraiser at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, to raucous applause. This doesn t seem entirely fair, cause the time I ran onstage at The Apollo and started singing Al Green into the mic it merely confused the audience, but I guess that s why they say the Apollo crowds are notoriously tough. Looks like we ve figured out the President s karaoke go-to. I kind of always had him pegged as a Santeria guy? Well done. Probably the most noteworthy Presidential singing performance since Herbert Hoover s rousing rendition of I Faw Down And Go Boom in 1928, which instantly earned him 90% of the Olde Timey Party vote (Historical fact).
