President Barack Obama Reveals Summer Playlist 2022

President Barack Obama has maintained his annual tradition of curating a summer playlist of his feelgood songs.

Beyoncé’s new song Break My Soul’ kicks of the Summer Playlist 2022 but you’ll also find some surprises such as Joe Cocker’s version of ‘Feeling Alright’, some fairly obscure Aretha Franklin ‘Save Me’, some very tasty Dave Brubeck ‘Take Five’ and the token nod to his mate Bruce Springsteen ‘Dancing In The Dark’.

There are no Australian’s in the list this year. Courtney Barnett ‘Need A Little Time’ made an Obama playlist in 2018.
