About this album

Bobby McFerrin is a striking debut that introduced one of modern vocal music’s most inventive artists. Issued in 1982, the album draws on jazz, soul and funk, using McFerrin’s remarkable voice as both melody and rhythm section. Its mix of spontaneous phrasing, clean grooves and playful reinvention of familiar material hinted at the wide-ranging solo career to come. Long before “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” made him a household name, McFerrin was already redefining what a singer could do, and this album helped establish him as a fearless, genre-crossing performer with rare technical control and charm.
