President Obama's recent impromptu a cappella performance of Al Green's hit "Let's Stay Together" at a fundraiser at the Apollo Theater in New York last week is now available as a ringtone on his official website. The ringtone captures eight seconds of the President singing the song's hook – "I-I'm, so-oo in love with you" – and can be downloaded for free in files compatible with iPhones and other smartphones.

A video clip of the moment went viral almost immediately upon hitting the internet last week, and garnered the president some positive attention after months of harsh criticism from his Republican rivals. Obama sang a snippet of the song as a tribute to Green, who appeared on stage just before him at the event.
