About that voice, President Obama. I have an idea that I think every supporter would agree with.

[BeHereNow]

Picture this:
Al Green and President Barack Obama in the studio with
A list session players to record a duet.
Just one song-

All supporters of his campaign (as in monetary) receive a
CD or itune file for free.

Would that be historic or WHAT?

How do we make it happen?

1. no, first there is no way Obama would do that

and the reason that moment was so nice was because it's something he usually wouldn't have done. but he was in a good mood . you can tell he was really happy so able to sing a few words.

2. I don't think he should do it

and I agree, it was a spontaneous moment that happened to work. Let's not go overboard.

[BeHereNow]

6. True that- it was a spontaneous moment that worked...

and left people like me wanting to hear more!
So why not?
The guy can sing!

3. Why do you think there is no way he would do it?

I disagree- I think he would because I think he knows
how it would delight his supporters and his daughters...

4. he has said before there is no way we will ever hear him sing

his singing the one line here was more of a in the moment thing and something he had joked around with friends since he said "you thought i wouldn/t do that" after he did that one line.

[BeHereNow]

5. Well that is sad to hear- because he has a beautiful voice.

Politicians publish books, so why not other forms of creative talent?
I would pay for his musical talent before I would buy his book.

12. I disagree - I think he would do it...

I'm sure his campaign has seen how much positive feedback he got from it..

[BeHereNow]

13. Me too- 4 + million hits on his youtube video of just a few notes?

Hello?
Can you imagine the hits a whole track would garner?
If I was his campaign manager, I would INSIST he do it...
but that's just me.
I believe the power of music is the greatest force on the planet!

8. and Bill C can play saxophone nt

[BeHereNow]

9. Why not?

Everyone acts like music is not respectable or something...
WTH?
In my world, nothing is more dignified than music and the ability to make it.

[BeHereNow]

10. Shameless self "kick"

Why does this seem so unthinkable by the DU community?
It's as if music is some how not a respectable thing for the president to engage in...
Hello? Clinton performed on television with his saxaphone!

11. i'd think it would be cool.

[BeHereNow]

14. Hell yeah, and talk about a collectable item!

A CD of the Prez singing!
I want one!

15. I"m with you, my dear BeHereNow!

I'm all for it too!

How do we make it happen?

Write him!

[BeHereNow]

16. Maybe the approach should come from some musicians?

Now that we are friends on the FB- if you are familiar with
R&B musicians, you will see some of my friends are the best of the best-
What if...?

17. Hey...maybe run your idea by them...

See what they think?

Sounds like a good idea to me!
