President Obama Paid Tribute to Prince by Playing His Hits on a Turntable
Obama played two of Prince's greatest hits on a turntable to start his morning.
— -- As the world mourns the loss of Prince, President Obama paid tribute to the legendary artist in his own way -- by cranking up two of his greatest hits on a turntable.
During a news conference in London today, President Obama revealed he listened to two of Prince's hit songs, "Purple Rain" and "Delirious," to start his morning one day after the music legend passed away.
"It so happens our ambassador has a turntable and so this morning we played 'Purple Rain' and 'Delirious,' just to get warmed up before we left the house for important bilateral meetings like this," the president said as he stood alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron.
"I love Prince because he put out great music and he was a great performer," the president said. "I didn't not know him well. He came to perform at the White House last year and was extraordinary and creative and original and full of energy."
