President Obama appeared at a fundraising event at the legendary Apollo Theater last night and treated his supporters to a few bars from the classic Al Green hit 'Let's Stay Together'. Singing right on key, Obama wowed the crowd with his unexpected Apollo Theater debut. With Al Green in attendance at the event, Obama apologetically joked, "I cannot sing like you, I just wanted to show my appreciation" 

Prior to the fundraiser at the Apollo Theater, Director Spike Lee and his wife hosted an intimate dinner party for 45 guests for a reported $35,800 per ticket. Among the guest list was Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon and former Knicks player Allan Houston.
