Bobby McFerrin 巴比‧麥克菲林是一位受過爵士、古典與流行樂薰陶的傑出美國音樂家,曾獲得十次葛萊美獎,他的音域極廣,而且最厲害的是可以同時演唱主旋律與伴奏,並透過嘴與輕敲胸膛製造人聲節拍,聽 McFerrin 唱歌感覺上像是同時聽到二至三位歌手同時演唱,而且還是有伴奏的喔,真的很不可思議。
一起來欣賞下面這首 By the Sea:
下面是歌詞:
By the sea by the, by the, by the sea
Singing songs for ya, (在海邊,為你唱歌)
By the sea, by the sea, by the
By the sea by the sea, by the sea, by the sea sea sea by the
Signing songs for ya. Singing, singing, singing songs for ya
By the ocean, see some birdies (在海邊,看到一些小鳥)
By the ocean, see some birdies
Singing songs for ya, by the sea side (為你唱歌,在海邊)
Watching birdies, fly in the sunset (看著小鳥,飛在夕陽下)
Watching birdies, fly in the sunset
Grand daddy tree looking down looking down me---- by the sea
(老爺爺樹,看著我,在海邊)
By the sea by the, By the sea side
By the Sea side---
By the sea side, singing songs for ya
By the sea side, singing songs for ya
By the sea side, singing songs for ya
Watch some birdies fly, into the sunset
(在海邊,為你唱歌,看著小鳥飛向夕陽)
By the sea side- Sea side

McFerrin 最為人知的代表作其實是 1988 年的流行經典單曲 Don't Worry, Be Happy。
也來看一看吧,真的很好聽喔!
Don't Worry, Be Happy (by Bobby McFerrin)
Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy now
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord says your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Look at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you're worried, call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
But don't worry, be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy now
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy
Now there is this song I wrote
I hope you learned it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
When you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy...be happy now
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy
Don't worry
Don't worry, don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon pass whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
I'm not worried...
