It's all a trick of the mind. He establishes just enough of a melodic/harmonic line for your mind to fill in the gaps while he goes to another part. That's why he's so amazing.

@@retrodemos9062 He is a son of a opera singer (baryton like him) and he played piano and sung for several years as jazz entertainer. That means that he knows harmony, rhythm and (of course) melody of many standards. And jazz standards had been - and always are - the best learning for every musician. With few notes, he can drive a commun audience in a choir.
I LOVE how he's still vibrating (like a plucked string) for 2 beats after he's done. I am AMAZED with his talent AND that he get - AND WANTS - to share it with everyone. INSPIRATIONAL!
This man has so much talent when it comes to vocals! He's like the Jimi Hendrix of vocalism. This man can literally use his voice box like an instrument! Fucking crazy!
Bobby McFerrin is a musical genius. That's all there is to it. Can't tell you how many times I've listened to the McFerrin CD's I've got. They stand the test of many listenings.
Tears in my eyes this is soooooo amazing makes me soooo happy to see God made us to even do the impossible we only have to do it................ see the results . Oh MY GOD.Thanks for being you
I think you'll find it's Nature human beings Being. All those who believe in religion are fighting it out somewhere around the world while Nature quietly continues for all of us
As a vocalist, McFerrin often switches rapidly between modal and falsetto registers to create polyphonic effects, performing both the main melody and the accompanying parts of songs. He makes use of percussive effects created both with his mouth and by tapping on his chest.
When the weight of the world becomes just a little too much to bear, I remember thst this song exists. I also remember Bobby is a stone cold musical genius. Things don't seem so bad when you have a song in your heart. Gonna admit, I've tried singing this just like Bobby.
He is performing in Argentina in one month, and i've got myself a ticket!!! Bobby is extremely talented. I'm glad that I can finally watch him perform live.
this man's voice is absolutely superb. i know he is well know for that don't worry be happy song (which i don't like as much as this) but why is he not more famous than he is...? maybe he doesn't want to be that famous. great live performer on this evidence as well. thanks for upload - jason
He's an artist. His talent is so unique, it doesn't translate well to pop culture. Like great jazz and modern art. The proof is that his most commercially successful work is probably the most trivial song he ever wrote. ...Dumbed down for the masses.
Sometimes it astonishes me that you can find UA-cam comments from 11 years ago. Man we sure have gotten old from when it first started. Anyway, Bobby McFerrin is incredible!

But to discount new music on account of it being new is as ignorant and close-minded as those you accuse of being ignorant because they don't enjoy older music.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us ! You are loved and not forgotten , I even have one of my fav. songs " Don't worry be Happy " as ringtone . Love your energy and everything about you !
Should have been a big hit. I remember in the UK this was used as an advert for candy with the revised lyric "Thinking about your chocolate, thinking about your taste" :D
@@MegaDiva1999 the "chocolate" version brought this to mass attention and gave Mcferrin an income for a living to continue his art, instead of having to work in a gas station for a living. That's the business side of things, that make it financially viable for talents like him to continue and spend time developing their art and talents. And besides I also love to treat myself to a Cadbury chocolate now and again as well!
Dont be negative. Maybe you should actually bring attention to 10.000 people who liked it? They have great taste. Like you and me :) Notice what makes us alike, not different.
hahaha good for you!! Having your own opinion on anything makes you a strong character. What makes you weak is liking what everyone else likes, following the crowd. Like what you like and be different, not just another brick in the wall.
Why is this talent not talked about or shown more often?! e.g. T.V. or radio? Mr. McFerrin you need to be recognized! Glad, as read below at least you are being shown in classes!
His ability to convey chord progressions and melodies with his voice is incredible
Tell me bout it
It’s UNREAL
Bobby McFerrin - the man whose whole body is a musical instrument.
It is impossible to understand how someone can dislike McFerrin.
Lol nobody anymore

Yes I agree and I like shovels

Where others use a loop station Bobby makes your head loop
One of the true geniuses of the 20th century. A true master musician.
#TRULY #GIFTED
If you don't want to be institutionalized, don't practice that in public until you have it polished to perfection like McFerrin.
Too late lol
I thought I was good. Till I did this to my class. Poor my students was thinking his teacher got a very bad sick...
Both funny and tragic :-D...tragic because in some countries it is most likely true.
@@minhsangtran9526 Take care :) You're just at the beginnig of your wisdom's path.
Greetings
@@minhsangtran9526 hahaha too good
Some day, when this man kicks the bucket, his autopsy will show that he was build out of pure music.
Music = sound and silence = vibrating air :)
Great comment
or he ate a couple of instruments

Just a pure musician, through and through. Amazing talent

Bobby McFerrin--so utterly unique and talented!
You too to dip into this
God has blessed Mr. BOBBY WITH A WONDERFUL VOCAL RANGE!
Agreed.
He didn't even need a harmonica for the harmonica solo
It’s you!
What in the heck someone has some great taste of music.
Time for you to see this video again, don't you think? Love you Joe
I swear Bobby is a superhuman, I don't know how anyone could do that
hapapababapahapahababhapjah
3:16 Just look at all those smiles in the crowd !! That's what enterainment is all about ! Man is a legend
When you got talent, you got it for real.. Man, this guy is so talented.
Mind-blowing how Bobby turns his body into a one-man-band. Rare talent.
This used to be on a compilation CD that I'd listen to while I went to sleep when I was younger. I still love it, Bobby McFerrin is McFuckin awesome.

A underrated artist.
Thanks to Kim Taehyung I'm watching this amazing performs of this talented man Bobby McFerrin
What a cool, talented artist!!! Love Bobby Mc Ferrin!
I agree. The guy is a genius
This is the coolest thing I've ever heard a soloist do. He's the Eddie Van Halen of vocals.
Singing with God Mode on
This man's music changes my perception on life and humbles me every time I listen to his music.
I discovered this video by Taehyung (V of BTS) and I'm really surprised at such talent, great voice, just wow
I love it🤯🤯🤯👏🏻
A true, One Man Band!
Edit: what an underrated musician.
He is unique.
Anyone still here?❤️
Right here with u...
Allways coming back to this
Boop Be Dum De Doop to you too sir!

I'd say that's a bit of a stretch, bur he aight..

Thanks for the mini biography
Hi
Thank you, but I know how to go on Wiki
I saw him live yesterday, and it was awesome. I am proud to was there.
love this man good vibes !!!!!
nonoaz off u still watch him me too!
Outstanding. An originator who has not been duplicated.
The first reggae beatboxer, absolutely amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Such beautiful music.....here because of Kim Taehyung 🥰
Thank you so much Taehyung for introducing us to such a wonderful artist 💜
Just heard this on Radio 2…… straight onto UA-cam to listen again!!!! Absolute amazing 😳😳👍👍👍
Had this in my head for 5 days now and I can’t stop singing it at work!!!!
This is such a cool song and it reminds me of those 80's LEVI'S commercials that featured Bobby McFerrin vocals.
OMG! He's amazng. You hardly ever see this stuff nowdays. Love IT!!!!
The tragedy is that from a musical standpoint, 90% of this country will only recognize Bobby McFerrin as a 1 hit wonder.
Probably his worst song.
i want to hear him sing "dont worry be happy" at the same time he sings this, just overlay them on top of each other.
Taehyung posted this on his insta today and brought me to this masterpiece!!
When the weight of the world becomes just a little too much to bear, I remember thst this song exists. I also remember Bobby is a stone cold musical genius. Things don't seem so bad when you have a song in your heart. Gonna admit, I've tried singing this just like Bobby.
I came here from a certain instgram post 💜💜💜 purple bloods will know
hes the musician,he is the instruemtent, hell he's he stage, hes the entire freakin building.... Mannn """""Bobby McFerrin"'"""!!!!!!
김태형 덕분에 알게 되었어

It's funny how we are seeing and admitting that this man is a master of music and sounds 2022, you the best your music saved me
Bobby McFerrin is my favourite band.
He is performing in Argentina in one month, and i've got myself a ticket!!! Bobby is extremely talented. I'm glad that I can finally watch him perform live.
Did you enjoy the gig??
@@jm-je4tl absolutely, it was an amazing performance. He made the whole crowd sing with him at various points. It was a brilliant show.
@@JulianDipp nice to hear. It must've been an amazing show if you remember it 10 years on.
Taehyung posted this masterpiece on his ig 💜💜💜💜
This exact version, has been an earworm, on and off for years. ❤️
O hush.....You already know you have the audience. LoL We all love you.
Kim Taehyung have good tastes 👏
this man's voice is absolutely superb. i know he is well know for that don't worry be happy song (which i don't like as much as this) but why is he not more famous than he is...? maybe he doesn't want to be that famous. great live performer on this evidence as well. thanks for upload - jason

He's wildly popular, not underrated. Just appreciated
No matter how much since I saw this, I always get stunned by Mrs. Mc Ferrin magic singing!
No comments! Bobby is fantastic!!!!!!!
this guy is so talented. i love his music

Thanks Taehyung for bringing me here
Knick knack, for the oldies.
True Talent!!! You can tell he enjoyed doing it.
Bobby such a cool and talented musician 💜💜
Oh baby, i am thinking about this performance for years. my ears never forget.
Now this song is stuck in my head for the whole week
…WOW! It’s just…WOW! How did Taehyung find these extraordinarily talented artists!?
Ikr I came here from his ig!
Damn. He Even got the chord changes on lock. I'm still struggling to sing on key without an instrument 😂
When we talk or sing, our whole body, flesh 'n bones, IS an istrument.
Talent at it Best Mr Bobby McFerrin. Great music.❤❤❤❤❤
I remember this show I saw it when I was a little boy it was around 87 or 88 not sure Bobby is Awesome in this era we need another Bobby : )
The parts where he’s doing the improv sounds just like a harmonica
This is sick man!
Aha hahahahahaha
that smile. just shows a true passion for what he does
I absolutely adore Bobby McFerrin, he's been in my collection since I was about 16 or so (I'm only 27 now), and I was raised on the "classics" like Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Ray Charles, Buddy Guy. I've seen tons of the greats live (Including the aforementioned Ray Charles and Buddy Guy, as well as Grateful Dead with Jerry). But to discount new music on account of it being new is as ignorant and close-minded as those you accuse of being ignorant because they don't enjoy older music.

He is amazing !!
Thank you God for bringing that sooo talented angel on Earth :)

I really love him so much
He's so good at his songs
Should have been a big hit. I remember in the UK this was used as an advert for candy with the revised lyric "Thinking about your chocolate, thinking about your taste" :D
i remember....had no idea that they were just desecrating such a heavanly tune. Finally got the 'chocolate'version out of my head...!
@@MegaDiva1999 the "chocolate" version brought this to mass attention and gave Mcferrin an income for a living to continue his art, instead of having to work in a gas station for a living.

And besides I also love to treat myself to a Cadbury chocolate now and again as well!
its remarkable that within a flash, he can change his voice from low to high
One word for Bobby McFerrin..........Genius
One of the finest tunes ever written :)
For me this will always be about Cadbury's Dairy Milk.
Yes mate.
Thinkin about your chocolate.
Thinkin about your taste.
I would never have known about this song if it wasn't for that corny advert.
Or a classic Mitchell and Webb sketch
Uma voz extraordinária.
Thinking about your body, thinking about your face ❤️❤️❤️
Талант! Удивительный человек!
Of course.
remember this absolutly brilliant true classic of the 80's
je suis trop fan c'est trop génial !!! bisous love !
Dreams do come true,gbless,, beautiful
Восторг!!!!!
i had no idea 'thinkin about your axe wound' was a cover.
this is even better!
It is a close call, but you are right to prefer this one lol
Ditto!
Dont be negative. Maybe you should actually bring attention to 10.000 people who liked it? They have great taste. Like you and me :) Notice what makes us alike, not different.
