Biography

To some people, Bobby McFerrin will always be the guy who sang Don’t Worry Be Happy. And he is that guy; he wrote and sang that global number one hit more than twenty years ago. But if that song is all you know about Bobby McFerrin, we suggest the following: Go to YouTube, type in Bobby’s name, sit back and prepare for a serious boggling of the mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous Jazz Vocalist, April 4, 2001
By 
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
For all lovers of Jazz, this is a must album to have. McFerrin uses his voice like an instrument and accomplishes AMAZING things with it. On this album you can hear his best work and some amazing collaborations with other jazz musicians. Personally, I find his rendition of Chick Corea's standard "Spain" to be the most amazing music I have heard in a long time. He and Corea form an awesome combination. I have heartily enjoyed this album and believe you will to.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction, August 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
Remember Bobby McFerrin's hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy"? I was intrigued by his sounds then, but never got around to looking for an album of his work alone. Last month I picked up this album on impulse and I'm glad I did! "Best Of" covers a range of his music from four different albums, including both solo vocals, a cappella pieces (both solo and group), and a neat track from his album "Play" where he sings a jazz "duet" (battle?) with piano by Chick Corea. My favorite by far is "Freedom is a Voice". You can check out samples of "Freedom" and other tracks on this CD here at Amazon under the headings of his other albums. Try "Freedom is a Voice" at the page for his album "Bang!Zoom". Close your eyes and enjoy!
