Bobby McFerrin was born on March 11, 1950, in New York City as Robert "Bobby" McFerrin Jr.. He would go on to become a world-renowned vocalist, conductor, and innovator in the realm of jazz and vocal music. Bobby McFerrin's journey into the world of music began at a young age. He grew up in a
musically gifted family; his father, Robert McFerrin Sr., was the first African American to become a permanent member of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. This familial connection to music undoubtedly played a crucial role in shaping Bobby's passion and talent. In the early 1980s, McFerrin
started to gain recognition for his unique vocal abilities. His vocal range, improvisational skills, and ability to create complex rhythms and melodies using only his voice were nothing short of extraordinary. He was not just a singer; he was an entire vocal orchestra. McFerrin had a hit song with "Don't Worry,
Be Happy" in 1998 which won him multiple Grammy Awards. It was the first acapella song which went Number 1. Bobby McFerrin's contribution to the world of jazz and vocal music is immeasurable. His innovative approach to vocalization and improvisation has inspired countless artists and continues to
captivate audiences around the world. This song was performed at The North Sea Jazz Festival on July 10, 1983.
