A ten-time Grammy Award winner, he is one of the world's best known vocal innovators and improvisers. His song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" (featured in the 1988 movie Cocktail, and the 2005 movie Jarhead) was a #1 U.S. pop hit in 1988.
He has also worked in collaboration with instrumental performers including pianist Chick Corea and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. This collaboration has established him as an ambassador of both the classical and jazz worlds. His recordings have sold over 20 million copies.
In addition to his vocal performing career, Mr. McFerrin was appointed in 1994 as creative chair of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
He is the subject of a persistent yet wholly unfounded rumour that he has committed suicide. The rumor was so strong that the official Bobby McFerrin FAQ addressed the question.
Mr. McFerrin and his oft-maligned hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy" were parodied on "The Simpsons" as "I'm Worried - Need Money".

Bobby Mcferrin is in a league of his own. There are numerous beatboxers around, but no one even comes close to the caliber of Bobby. This brilliant talent is versed in both jazz and classical music of all kinds, can play various instruments, is a composer, singer, conductor and an entertainer. What a magnificent musical phenomenon he is. Please keep performing for another 100 years!
Bill Nelson
The PURE GENIUS of this is utterly BEYOND the scope & compass of current, cultural thought. Mancini HIMSELF hands the baton over to animated Pink Panther in the studio to `direct' Bobby McFerrin vocalizing his favorite theme...omg, it's BEYOND GREAT . Can i use it for my `ringtone' ?
Dave Cayo
A master of vocals. Stand alone in his talent.
Alex Melillo
He is definitely one of a kind

He is so flippin good, but shows like Xfactor and all that have cheapened the meaning of true musical talent, Bobby Mcferrin wouldn't win a competition like that because they want poser, not true talent like bobby!
