Round Midnight -Bobby McFerrin

This is probably the most beautiful version of Thelonious Monks Round Midnight I've ever heard.

Splendid.........

Bobby! One of the most versatile vocalists alive, often quickly dismissed on the heels of the 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' fiasco....

He's a fabulous instrumentalist, highly skilled and creative.

Dig the duo record with Chick Corea: Play, It has a similarly great rendition of 'Round Midnight.

Excellent recommendation, Robin!

I would recommend Hush, the duo album with Yo-Yo Ma...just perfect!

:P

How did the suicide rumor start?

How did the suicide rumor start?

:huh:

there's been a rumor for years that he committed suicide after recording "Don't worry, be happy"

I'd never heard that....either way, it'd have been instantly dismissed since he's been recording and performing to this very day.

Either way, DW,BH is still a magnificent feat of musicianship on Bobby's part - despite the song's cheesiness. Did you know everything in that tune was performed solely by McFerrin?

He's neat!
