if you can't make it to the concert, don't worry, be happy!

It's a shame that he's only known for "Don't Worry - Be Happy". McFerrin is a one-man wonder. It's amazing the music he makes by using only his voice and body.

Holy cow!!! I didn't know this guy was still performing! I still think of the 80s whenever this guy is mentioned.
