  Vocalist Bobby McFerrin is best known for his 1988 hit “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” which was the first a capella song to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year. McFerrin also has five Grammy wins for Best Male Jazz Vocal, and has created a concert version of George Gershwin’s Porgy & Bess. This week, McFerrin stops by Song Travels’ studio to talk about his endless creativity and the enduring appeal of the Gershwins.
