At a White House concert Tuesday night celebrating the blues, President Obama took to the mic again, belting out a few lines of the blues anthem "Sweet Home Chicago" at the urging of performing legends B.B. King and Buddy Guy.
The president first unveiled his talents as a singer at a Harlem fundraiser last month, when he delivered an impromptu performance of a few lines of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together."Since then, he has vowed not to sing again - "I don't want to lose any further votes because of my singing voice," he quipped at a fundraiser this month - but on Tuesday, he appeared to have no choice.

The concert, timed for Black History Month, was the latest in the “In Performance at the White House" series and will air Monday on PBS. This one is called “Red, White and Blues.”
