Fresh Prince Actress: Scarlett Johansson Obama Song 'Historic and Special'
February 2, 2008 | 7:42 p.m
One of the people involved with the new Barack Obama song “Yes We Can” is Tatyana Ali, of Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Fakin’ Da Funk fame, who I bumped into in an elevator after Thursday night’s debate here in Los Angeles.
She predicted the song would be huge.
Ali, an official surrogate for Obama, said, “I just recently went to a party that will.i.am had in his studio,” she said, referring to the Black Eyed Peas guy. “Scarlett Johansson was there, and we made music. It’s something that is going to go viral in a little bit.”
“It’s something historic and special,” she added.
