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.
@@Zxx459 Bobby himself explains it right here hun ua-cam.com/video/fjvR9UMQCrg/v-deo.html I met him in person and he is pretty open about explaining what he does and, unlike you, he doesn't make racists remarks. PS. "invain" isn't even a word. #getadictionary
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!
@@retrodemogamer 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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 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!
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 !
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.
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.
I just found this and I'm a little amazed right now. This man is really talented. Just think about all the musicians that can barely sing and here this guy is an entire band and all rolled up in one without skipping a beat
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!
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!
As much as rock music is my thing day in day out, I still have a soft spot for gems in other genres. This is most definitely one of them. I first heard this as a small boy on Radio Luxembourg and was mesmerised. Amazing. A beautiful voice in a beautiful human being. Peace ❤️
Bobby McFerrin - the man whose whole body is a musical instrument.
His ability to convey chord progressions and melodies with his voice is incredible
Tell me bout it
It’s UNREAL
Got it in reverse, chord progressions convey this
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.

Where others use a loop station Bobby makes your head loop
It is impossible to understand how someone can dislike McFerrin.
Lol nobody anymore
@@siisihqdaa 😅
Word.
Yes I agree and I like shovels
FR-
One of the true geniuses of the 20th century. A true master musician.
#TRULY #GIFTED
Just a pure musician, through and through. Amazing talent
Bobby McFerrin--so utterly unique and talented!
You too to dip into this
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.

Mind-blowing how Bobby turns his body into a one-man-band. Rare talent.
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

Most talented vocalist I have EVER seen
God has blessed Mr. BOBBY WITH A WONDERFUL VOCAL RANGE!
Agreed.
Thanks to Kim Taehyung I'm watching this amazing performs of this talented man Bobby McFerrin

I hadn't noticed
@@magnus9839 lol
Thanks for the mini biography
Hi
Thank you, but I know how to go on Wiki
A underrated artist.
I discovered this video by Taehyung (V of BTS) and I'm really surprised at such talent, great voice, just wow
I love it🤯🤯🤯👏🏻
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.
When you got talent, you got it for real.. Man, this guy is so talented.
Incredible. What he can do with his voice is astonishing!!!
A true, One Man Band!
Edit: what an underrated musician.
He is unique.

김태형 덕분에 알게 되었어
고마워 이런 가수분 알게 해줘서^^
#KimTaehyung
What a cool, talented artist!!! Love Bobby Mc Ferrin!
I agree. The guy is a genius
This man's music changes my perception on life and humbles me every time I listen to his music.
This is the coolest thing I've ever heard a soloist do. He's the Eddie Van Halen of vocals.
Bobby McFerrin is my favourite band.
Outstanding. An originator who has not been duplicated.
The first reggae beatboxer, absolutely amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩

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.
No matter how much since I saw this, I always get stunned by Mrs. Mc Ferrin magic singing!
I saw him live yesterday, and it was awesome. I am proud to was there.
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!
love this man good vibes !!!!!
nonoaz off u still watch him me too!
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
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
This is the first video where I realized that his body fully became his instrument!
I ❤ this man!
Singing with God Mode on
Thanks black coffee for introducing me to this best musician Wow what a fantastic song.
Boop Be Dum De Doop to you too sir!

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

I really love him so much
He's so good at his songs
Such beautiful music.....here because of Kim Taehyung 🥰
Oh baby, i am thinking about this performance for years. my ears never forget.
THIS GIVES ME LIFE

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.
Thank you God for bringing that sooo talented angel on Earth :)

marino deželak, he sounds nothing like Bob Marley.
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.
He's wildly popular, not underrated. Just appreciated
OMG! He's amazng. You hardly ever see this stuff nowdays. Love IT!!!!
Had this in my head for 5 days now and I can’t stop singing it at work!!!!
Just heard this on Radio 2…… straight onto UA-cam to listen again!!!! Absolute amazing 😳😳👍👍👍
This is such a cool song and it reminds me of those 80's LEVI'S commercials that featured Bobby McFerrin vocals.
This exact version, has been an earworm, on and off for years. ❤️
…WOW! It’s just…WOW! How did Taehyung find these extraordinarily talented artists!?
Ikr I came here from his ig!
The original human beat box, I think he paved the way for Doug E Fresh.
Taehyung posted this on his insta today and brought me to this masterpiece!!

Pay No Attention To The 362 People Who Disliked This. This Man Is An American Professional Vocalist. AND HE IS THE BEST!
This is sick man!
Aha hahahahahaha
The more I see him and his music, the MORE I LIKE HIM 🎶👏❤️
Bobby such a cool and talented musician 💜💜
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 : )
sen hayata dair mükemmel bir detaysın
Deniz Sanem Sağlık aynen tepkikolikten geldim. unutmuştum bu adamı. saolsun hatırlattı tepkikolik. 😊😊
Mind-blowing!! Mr. McFerrin is super-incredible!

@@Rambl3On yeah
hes the musician,he is the instruemtent, hell he's he stage, hes the entire freakin building.... Mannn """""Bobby McFerrin"'"""!!!!!!
True Talent!!! You can tell he enjoyed doing it.
if this would have been made in the studio it would have been a great song, the fact one man is making it with his "essence" is BONKERs!
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.
that smile. just shows a true passion for what he does
Kim Taehyung have good tastes 👏
The 1 Man-Band!!! LUV IT❤
Anyone still here?❤️
Right here with u...
Allways coming back to this
O hush.....You already know you have the audience. LoL We all love you.
Taehyung posted this masterpiece on his ig 💜💜💜💜
My Go!!! I’m in awe of this man
He is amazing !!
So much talent
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.
As much as rock music is my thing day in day out, I still have a soft spot for gems in other genres. This is most definitely one of them. I first heard this as a small boy on Radio Luxembourg and was mesmerised. Amazing. A beautiful voice in a beautiful human being. Peace ❤️
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!
One word for Bobby McFerrin..........Genius
I came here from a certain instgram post 💜💜💜 purple bloods will know
No comments! Bobby is fantastic!!!!!!!
0:22 “bibbity bop Joe Bidennn”
😆
Por favor! qué placer escuchar McFerrin!
je suis trop fan c'est trop génial !!! bisous love !
Brings me back. Thanks Bobby
Uma voz extraordinária.
how does this only have 370 thousand views? It's an absolute classic
Kim Taehyung was here 😍💜
Now this song is stuck in my head for the whole week
remember this absolutly brilliant true classic of the 80's
Bobby is god. This is what i show to people who tell me that they think a capella music is boring
