Obama Sings the Blues

OBAMA SINGS THE BLUES: President Barack Obama expands his range from Al Green to tackle “Sweet Home Chicago” at last night’s Red White and Blues celebration at the East Room of the White House with Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Mick Jagger, Jeff Beck and Don Was, among others. Guy urged the President to join in on the finale, referring to his previous version of Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” jesting, “I heard you singing Al Green. You done started something. You gotta keep it up.” The show was part of the In Performance at the White House series, which will air on PBS next Monday (2/27) at 9 p.m. to mark Black History Month. Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich helmed the show. (2/22p)
