Last night, President Obama apparently crooned out another impromptu duet in the East Room of the White House when he sang, “Sweet Home Chicago” in front of an audience and guests Mic Jagger, B.B. King, and Jeff Beck for a PBS blues production. The program “In Performance at the White House” was made to honor Black History Month and will air Monday night. Watch Obama sing below:

During a speech before the event, Obama philosophized on the subject of blues music: “No one goes through life without both joy and pain, triumph and sorrow. The blues gets all of that, sometimes with just one lyric or one note.” Obama recently showed that he loves both music and new technology when he released his Spotify playlist to the world, featuring several old and new American Music Awards artists.
