Earlier in the day our very own Jon Harris posted a video of President Barack Obama singing “Let’s Stay Together” by the Reverend Al Green and it turns out the Reverend is a fan of the President’s singing.
After hearing the song Green said it was “terrific” and “he nailed it.”
President Obama sung just a short part of the song at the Apollo Theater in Harlem then proclaimed “and the Sandman didn’t come out.”
When talking about the mention given to him by President Obama Green said:
“I was thrilled that the President even mentioned my name, and if the President can get the economy going again and get everything going that he wants to, then we’ll all be together.”
It’s only a short clip but whether you like President Obama or not it’s still pretty special, here’s the video:

Apparently President Obama wanted to sing a bit of Al Green before he even came on the stage, noting afterwards while looking off stage at his staff:
“Those guys didn’t think I would do it. I told you I was gonna do it.”
What do you think of President Obama’s vocal chops from what you could hear from the short clip?
