Barack Obama has shared a list of songs that he said played a major role in his life, especially during his time as President of the United States.

Obama said

that during his two terms in office (2009 to 2017), he listened to a wide

variety of entertainers, including Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan, Jay Z and

Beyonce.

“Music has

always played an important role throughout my life—and that was especially true

during my presidency. While reviewing my notes ahead of debates, I’d listen to

Jay-Z’s “My 1st Song” or Frank Sinatra’s “Luck Be a Lady.” Throughout our time

in the White House, Michelle and I invited artists like Stevie Wonder and

Gloria Estefan to conduct afternoon workshops with young people before

performing an evening show in the East Room,” he said in a social media post on

Monday night.

“And there

were all sorts of performances I’ll always remember—like Beyoncé performing

“At Last” for our first dance at our inauguration, Paul McCartney serenading

Michelle in the East Room with, “Michelle” and Bob Dylan flashing me a

grin before vanishing after his performance of “Times They Are a-Changin.” So

in honor of my book coming out tomorrow, I thought I’d put together a playlist

with some of those songs. Hope you enjoy it. #APromisedLand.”

The playlist

also includes Beyoncé’s Halo, Bob Dylan’s The Times They Are

a-Changin’, Stevie Wonder’s Sir Duke, U2’s Beautiful Day, Phillip

Phillips’ Home, Gloria Estefan’s Always Tomorrow, Fleetwood Mac’s

Rhiannon and The Beatles’ Michelle.

Obama is

quite the music lover, and he often shows his diverse musical taste in his

annual summer playlist.
