President Obama showed off his grooviest 'dad dancing' on Tuesday night as he got down to the best of Memphis Soul at a White House show.
The President enjoyed a star-studded concert celebrating the sound of Soulsville as he and wife Michelle belted out the classics performed by artists including Queen Latifah, Booker T. Jones, Cyndi Lauper and Justin Timberlake.
He was also joined on the front row by daughters Malia and Sasha who giggled and shook their heads at their dad's dance moves.
Timberlake leaned in and serenaded the first couple from the stage with his version of the Otis Redding classic (Sittin' on) 'The Dock of the Bay accompanied by legendary guitarist Steve Cropper.
Obama opened the concert by saying: 'Let's face it, who does not love this music? These songs get us on the dance floor.
'They get stuck in our heads. We go back over them again and again. And they've played an important part in our history.
'Memphis, Tennessee, was segregated in the 1960s, but blacks and whites came together despite the institutional racism to create a soulful blend of gospel and rhythmic blues music that sought to 'bridge those divides, to create a little harmony with harmony.'

If any of these performers songs got stuck in my head, I'm afraid I'd have to make myself just another statistic...
When is Barry building the minarets for four-part harmony?
Being the Affirmative Action President is just one long party.
Spring Break surf, or slopes? Hard 2 choose so they did BOTH.
Blue Angels and Thunderbirds grounded, no WH tours, but THIS..!
African potentate, I’d say.
Glad I could help make his day. Our kids didn’t need to eat anyway.
That ball of slime is so low right now, that I don’t know how he can get any farther “down”.
Obama is slime.
Obama is sludge.
Obama is a dork.
A rock has twice the Obamadork’s IQ.
And, if it were a black rock, it could get into Harvard Law - and quite possibly head the Law Review - without even being able to type a single word...just like the dork.
Sorry, folks, this is not racist, it is an honest assessment of the truth.
He dances the same way he gets off AF1, like he’s riding a pony.
President Pantload sure loves to live lavishly off the taxpayers money.
African Impotentate, you mean...
57 states anyone?
Barry refuses to let the economic depression get in the way of a good time.
+1.
I will be SO GLAD when this ghetto trash leaves our White House and some adults move back in.
Good luck on that!
I won’t believe he intends to move ‘til I see him lose a round of golf in 2017.
Even then, the press is getting us ready for the Hildebeast.
That would take one heck or a girdle to get her into that dress...
“Fiona” from London wrote this in the comments section in the Daily UK:
“And Michelle a first lady? Looks like an overdressed Z-list wannabe or perhaps a female impersonator you see on Hollywood boulevard. What an embarrassment they are. The two of them really are the perfect zero substance couple to rule over the end of the United States. It’s apt. Too bad. They had an amazing legacy to fulfill and they just frittered it away with their shallowness.”
