'Obama song' recorded in Scotland

One of the songs featured in Barack Obama's US presidential campaign was recorded at a college in Glasgow, it has emerged.

Josh White Jr recorded "We Can Do It (Together)" at the sound studios of John Wheatley College's Easterhouse campus in January.

He submitted the song to the Obama camp who later invited him to join the campaign trail.

The song featured at several rallies in the final months before polling.

The New York-born singer songwriter recorded "We Can Do It (Together)" in Glasgow through connections with his agent, Doug Yeager.

John Wheatley College sound engineering student, Laura McGhee, assisted in the session.

In a statement the college said it had "watched with particular interest" Barack Obama's victory in last week's US presidential election.

The college said it was "proud to have played a part, however small, in this epoch-shaping event".
