Barack Obama does a mean Al Green cover, he has some potential too as you can view here from his Apollo Theater NYC debut: http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/obama-sings-al-green-s-let-s-stay-together/6uze9xr

All the old Mississippi Delta/Chicago Blues Singers.
Jerry Lee Lewis

And the list gose on.
