The Rev. Al Sharpton is the latest to applaud President Barack Obama’s rendition of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together.” Leaving his radio show in New York Friday, Sharpton caught up with TMZ to explain why the president’s smooth vocals could help his campaign:

President Barack Obama’s kick ass rendition of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” at The Apollo last night was GREAT for his campaign … because it humanizes him to voters … this according to Al Sharpton.

The Rev — who ALSO killed it on stage at The Apollo a few years ago with a GREAT rendition of James Brown’s “I Feel Good” — was out in NY today when we asked for his expert opinion.
