                              Question of the Week

Every week, we post a picture at the bottom of this blog. It is a combination of Mr. Prater's and Mrs. Scott's favorite singers. The patch is a copy of one that was worn by Mr. Prater's favorite singer, Elvis Presley. The guy that is smiling next to it is famous and sings a song called "Let's Stay Together". Who is he?

Hint: It is NOT James Brown

Have a great week!
