The White HouseWhat’s President Obama‘s song of the summer? Let’s just say he has more than one. The White House has released the Leader of the Free World’s 2016 summer playlist, and it features a diverse mix of classic and new tunes from a variety of genres.
Obama’s summer playlist is split into two parts — one for daytime and the other for the evening. His daytime list features a number of songs by veteran artists, including The Beach Boys‘ “Good Vibrations,” Aretha Franklin‘s “Rock Steady,” and the late Prince‘s “U Got the Look.”
As for his nighttime summer playlist, the president’s picks include Aaron Neville‘s “Tell It Like It Is,” War‘s “All Day Music” and Tower of Power‘s “So Very Hard to Go,” as well as tunes by jazz greats Miles Davis, Billie Holiday and Carmen McRae.
