This video takes the concept of an audience “sing along” to a whole new level! The only reason Bobby can do this is because he has a well educated audience of singers/musicians. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Bobby McFerrin, in solo voice concerts twice; once at NJPAC and again at Lincoln Center in NYC. Mr. McFerrin called for 12 SINGERS to join him on stage during the concert. At Lincoln Center I was lucky to be in the front row, and I jumped up at the opportunity!!! Bobby assigned us all a part, then improvised over it…one of the most amazing musical experiences in my life, foe shizzle. I had to laugh when VH1 featured Bobby McFerrin on a Where are They Now? program, as if he had vanished…as if after “Don’t Worry Be Happy” (an amazing vocal performance) he hadn’t done a thing?!?!?!? Then there was the urban myth that he had committed suicide.

Friends…Bobby McFerrin is alive and well. Go hear him live if you ever get the opportunity!!!
