McFerrin's song 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' was a No. He has frequently collaborated with other artists from both the jazz and classical scenes. He is widely known for performing and recording regularly as an unaccompanied solo vocal artist. A ten-time Grammy Award winner, he is known for his unique vocal techniques, such as singing fluidly but with quick and considerable jumps in pitch-for example, sustaining a melody while also rapidly alternating with arpeggios and harmonies-as well as scat singing, polyphonicovertone singing, and improvisational vocal percussion.

Then you open up a place where grace can come in.” Lift your voice, open your heart, and sing along.Jazz, a cappella, vocal, world, classical, smooth jazz I don’t want the audience to be blown away by what I do, I want them to have this sense of real joy, from the depths of their being. What I want everyone to experience at the end of my concerts is. “I couldn’t open up my eyes, I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t sing. “I couldn’t do anything without faith,” he says. Spirityouall is a deeply personal statement for Bobby McFerrin. The spirituals are about liberation and courage, the human condition, the pioneering spirit, the search for strength in the face of adversity, and the journey toward a better place, and Bobby’s versions reach for new territory. Three of the traditional numbers featured on spirityouall -the opening track “Every Time I Feel the Spirit,” “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” and “Fix Me Jesus”-also appeared on the senior McFerrin’s 1957 album Deep River, but similarities end there. I think the idea has been kicking around for at least a couple of decades. ” I always thought that someday I’d sing these songs,” Bobby says, “and that I’d have to find a way of doing it that was completely different from my father’s approach. The project honors the legacy of Bobby’s father, the great operatic baritone Robert McFerrin, Sr., the first African-American to sign a contract with the Metropolitan Opera Company and a renowned interpreter of the American Negro Spiritual. But as in so many great American tales, sometimes it turns out that everything one is searching for is in one’s own backyard. Spirityouall continues Bobby’s life-long quest to integrate all the influences of the musical universe. Bobby loves to sing this music, and it shows: spirityouall raises the roof with joyful grooves. He moves seamlessly between lyrics and wordless lines, trading phrases with his band, inviting the audience to sing along. This project embraces Bobby’s folk, rock, and blues influences without abandoning his fearless improvisational approach or his never-ending exploration of the human voice.
The new material ranges from a celebratory hoedown (“Rest”) to a polemic anthem (“Woe”), to a down and dirty blues setting of Psalm 25:15. Spirityouall features beloved familiar tunes like “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands” and “Every Time I Feel The Spirit” alongside original songs which explore Bobby’s everyday search for grace, wisdom, and freedom. He invites us back to the great folk tradition of lifting our voices to sing together through life’s trials and triumphs. Now Bobby invites us to sit on the stoop awhile and listen as he throws some unexpected new ingredients into the melting pot and reinvents Americana.
