Sales of Al Green’s ‘Let’s Stay Together’ Go Through the Roof Thanks to Barack Obama

Staff — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:40:54 +0000

When President Barack Obama stopped by New York’s Apollo Theater last week for a fundraiser, he had a little fun and went a capella when he saw soul crooner Al Green in the audience. He serenaded the crowd with a few lines from the Reverend’s classic hit “Let’s Stay Together,” the internet had some fun, and we thought that would be the end of it.

But to our surprise, he ended up putting a little extra change in Al Green’s pocket. Sales of “Let’s Stay Together” increased by 490%!

Drinks on Al!!!

Green’s track, which was originally released in 1971, sold over 16,000 downloads in the week ending January 22nd, a 490% increase from the previous week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The Prez even showed the Reverend some love by saying, “Don’t worry Rev, I cannot sing like you, but I just wanted to show my appreciation.”

Maybe Green needs to show Barack a little appreciation now. Take him out to dinner, or at least a nice “Thank You” card… you know, for the effort.

More News on Al Green!

Oscar’s Odds Are In Your Favor When You Play A Real Life Character

Staff — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:00:02 +0000

It seems that the odds are in an actor’s favor for receiving an Academy Award nomination and eventually picking up the Oscar when they are playing a real life character. This year sees Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams, and Kenneth Brannaugh all receiving nominations for portraying real life characters. Take a look at the larger-than-life figures they portrayed as well as other Oscar winners from the past several decades who picked up Oscar gold for their real-life recreations. [OSCAR TRIVIA ALERT: Katherine Hepburn won the Best Actress Award for her portrayal of Eleanor of Aquitaine in 'The Lion In Winter'. Later, Cate Blanchett won the Best Supporting Actress for 'The Aviator' for her portrayal of...Katherine Hepburn!]

Its The Day The U.S. Involvement In Vietnam Officially Ended..

Bea Thompson — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:45:11 +0000

It was on this day in 1973 that the Vietnam Peace Accords were signed in Paris, ending the nation’s military role in Vietnam. Eleven years later on the same day we were talking not war–but flames sparking on a pop star’s head–it was not the gloved one’s day./ But see who else stood out on this Day In History.
