Al Green

"This is an epic moment for us," Michael Stipe says.

Al Green's song 'Let's Stay Together' was downloaded over 16,000 times last week, which was up 490% from the week before. It was the biggest digital sales week for the song since Soundscan started tracking downloads in 2003.

At a campaign fundraiser last night in New York, President Obama became the first sitting president to visit the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. And he also became the first president to bust into an Al Green song during a speech.
