Genere

Bobby McFerrinâs parents were both opera singers, and his father was the first African American male to sing leading roles at New Yorkâs Metropolitan Opera.
â His unmistakable vocal technique, encompassed by a four-octave range, combines elements of scat singing, polyphonic singing, and improvisational vocal percussion.
â Before recording his debut album, McFerrin avoided listening to other singers for two years, because he didnât want to be influenced by their styles.
â McFerrinâs The Voice, released in 1994, was the first-ever solo jazz album recorded with no overdubbing or accompanying musicians.
â His global hit, 1988âs âDonât Worry, Be Happy,â won two Grammy Awards and was the first a cappella song to reach No. 1 on the Billboard charts.
â McFerrin won 10 Grammy awards and scored 18 nominations for his career-spanning work as a jazz and pop vocalist and classical arranger.
â In 1989, McFerrin wrote and performed the score for the Academy Award-winning documentary Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt, about the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt.
â At age 40, he began a new career as a conductor, and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra named him its creative chair in 1994.
