Who knew that President Obama could make a 30-odd year old song shoot up the chartsagain?
Digital sales of Al Green's (hate dis guy - ed) 1972 hit "Let's Stay Together" (hate dis song - ed) are up 490 percent, since a video of the president singing a few bars at a fundraiser surfaced last week.
According to Nielsen SoundScan, the song was downloaded about 16,000 times last week — making it the best week for the song since digital sales data became available in 2003.
And that's the only Obama-Al Green (add dat to the nexus list - ed) news.
House Democrats, at a retreat in Maryland, presented President Obama with a CD of the caucus doing a rendition of the song. POLITICO's Seung Min Kim has more.
To which the Fungster says Boooooooooooo!
