Barack Obama<\/a>: past US president, author, attorney. And now, Billboard-charting artist alongside the likes of Khalid, Ciara and Ella Mai.<\/p>\n

A remix of the Hamilton<\/a> song One Last Time featuring Obama currently holds the No. 22 spot <\/a>on Billboard's R&B chart for the week starting Jan. 5. The rework, a gospel version titled One Last Time (44 Remix) and released Dec. 21, features original cast member Christopher Jackson<\/a>, who played George Washington; Grammy Award-winning artist BeBe Winans<\/a>; a gospel choir; and none other than the former leader of the free world.<\/p>\n

At the 1:43 mark, Obama reads part of George Washington's farewell address as gentle guitar and piano play in the background and Washington's words echo powerfully in smooth song.<\/p>\n

"Though in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error. I'm nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will view them with indulgence.<\/p>\n

"I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself to realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers."<\/p>\n

It's an incredibly moving convergence of music and civic devotion, and I really wish I'd been in the room where THAT recording happened.<\/p>\n

The remix is the final installment in Lin Manuel Miranda's Hamildrops<\/a>, a monthly series of Hamilton-related tracks that feature big-name artists like Sara Bareilles and The Decemberists and raise money for nonprofits.<\/p>\n

Obama has long been a fan of the hit musical set in revolutionary America. In 2009, years before it became a Tony Award-winning show, he watched co-creator Miranda perform a number from it at a White House poetry jam<\/a>. In 2015, once the musical hit Broadway, he could be seen giving a standing ovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First published Dec. 21, 2018.
Update, Jan. 5 at 3:44 p.m. PT: <\/strong>Adds that the remix hit the Billboard charts.<\/p>\n
