Bobby McFerrin – Blackbird


Musical icon Bobby McFerrin has carved out a unique career defined by his innovative use of the human voice. A multi-talented artist, his scope spans multiple genres, from pop success with his Grammy-winning mega-hit “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” to collaborations with renowned artists across jazz and classical music, including Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea, and Dizzy Gillespie. Born into a musical family, the son of celebrated opera singer Robert McFerrin, he has explored a vast range of vocal expressions, from leading his a cappella ensemble Voicestra and performing with symphonies worldwide as a conductor to paying tribute to his father’s spirituals. Honored as a 2020 NEA Jazz Master and a 2023 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, McFerrin’s work consistently pushes the boundaries of what is possible with the voice.

For years, people assumed this was a mistake by the show’s producers, who were believed to have confused the darts player with the soul singer. However, Kevin Rowland later revealed that the “mistake” was actually his idea, done as a joke to amuse himself and his band. The producers had warned him that people would think it was a mistake, but he insisted, leading to one of the most memorable and bizarre moments in the show’s history.

Although the group’s roots stretched far beyond the Rat Pack — they were informed by New Orleans jazz, hot dance music, Harlem jazz, and other jumping music of prewar America — they nevertheless benefited from the lounge revival, which helped lift their 1996 album, Hot, and its accompanying single, “Hell,” into the Billboard charts. Squirrel Nut Zippers kept touring into the early 2000s, after which they went on hiatus. Leader Jimbo Mathus revived the group in 2008 for a live album but it wasn’t until 2018 that they released a new album, Beasts of Burgundy. The reconstituted band kept rolling into the next decade with 2020’s Lost Songs of Doc Souchon.
