About 30 years ago I saw a video clip of Stephen Stills rocking out solo onstage. He kept repeating a funk riff and the crowd was going nuts. Then the camera cut to a shot of Bobby McFerrin in the audience clapping and dancing to the beat with all he had. It was electrifying. Does anyone have any info as to the clip/conference I’m referring to? I’d love to be able to see it again.

Yesterday I watched the recording of a splendid concert at Palau de la Música Catalana (Barcelona) with Bobby McFerrin and Orfeó Català. I truly enjoyed it! I had a chance to see Bobby McFerrin in concert along with the Yellow Jackets back in 2012 in Donostia-San Sebastián, which was amazing!!

Found my way here listening to Circlesongs early hours of Wednesday morning February 28th 2024.
Listening on headphones recommended - I can hear stuff I never noticed before.
Thank you for sharing your gift of voice

I loved seeing you at Britt , two times. My favorite was when you engaged the audience. A local singer Chris Williams did the Circle Song with you and brought us an evening of circle song. Will you do something like that again? I sure hope so❣️

Dearest Bobby,
I have found your approach to music to be so inspiring, that I have declared February 18th as Bobby McFerrin Day in my classroom. On that greatly anticipated day, we watch your performances and interviews, reflect on our own singing practices and make music together. Thank you for sharing your deep passion for the human voice with such humility and intentionality. Anytime you are in the Nairobi area, come and join us. We would love to improvise with you.

Hi Bobby! As a musician I have become fascinated with the relationship between music and the brain/energy/healing. I watched Notes and Neurons and felt the scientists had a long way to go to understand what you understand instinctively. Two things I wanted to say; firstly, I think what you experienced from the Miles Davis gig was Awe which has a huge physical and mental effect. Secondly, maybe you know, in the last couple of years, they discovered neurons that react only to singing/singing with instruments. Not to instrumental music or speech. They don’t know why we have them. That’s it, keep doing what you do, you are an amazing being! X

Thanks for your music. I listen to your vocabularies album with Roger Treece every day it seems and it hasn't gotten old yet. It's a unique achievement in recorded music, in no small part thanks to your brilliant improv skills ironically.
Thanks for your contributions to music, which have brought color to my life when I'm listening.

Bobby, thank you for showing us that music is universal…and the wonder of the human voice “Psalm 23,” is one of my favorite pieces. Recently the Minnesota Chorale sang it as a gift of recordings in honor of Helmut Rilling’s 90th birthday. Just sharing with you from YouTube. Blessings to you and yours https://youtu.be/V1VDk_7n-s4?si=xwzlYiNDOLK7l_eQ

I have never encountered anything like your music. Musical improvisation and singing are my simply pleasures and truly shaped who I am, bringing confidence and serenity. When I started making a capella compositions myself, I stumbled upon your music. It really embodies this powerfulness and playfulness - of the human voice as well as the human spirit. The spirit is meant to improvise and innovate. Not limit and imitate. I hope to be able to come to the US once to attend one of your Circlesongs jams. That's the dream. Have a blessed one.

It's been 12 years since this moment that changed my life. My dream was to see him live and when I found out he was coming to Chile I started crying hahahaha. Finally, having sung this improvisation alongside Bobby was one of the most beautiful gifts in life. Today, 12 years later, I saw this moment again that still seems unreal to me.
eternal thanks

By the power vested in me by the Lord and angels, I hereby bestow on Bobbie McFerrin *yourself, "Bobbie I" the title with the Christian faith of "Venerable Bobbie McFerrin" for the remainder of your natural life. If in need of extraordinary aid, you may obtain a special phone number to someone at the Roman Holy See for immediate aid once. May God bless and keep you and your sons and wife. Amen

“Don’t worry, be happy.”
One crisp morning, I entered into Ms. Deloris Johnson’s 5th grade class in Vancouver, WA. The year was 1995 and to my surprise, music was playing. It was a song I would hear EVERY morning of her class, that year. As a 38 year old mom of 3, I use the song to get their headspace right on the way to school. Ms. Johnson taught us how to write our first typed-letter on a computer. The subject? The man himself. My 10 year old self scrambled to think of what to say. Because, after all… this was such a treat for me! I typed my letter. We sent our letters. Weeks later. Headshots and signed letters were returned. I was floored. I put my things in a hole in the wall in my room for safe keeping. Sisters, you know. They can be nosey. I moved and the letter and picture was lost. I write this here so I can remember this part of my past before my memory gets the best of me. I wish I still had those in my possession. But the memories were a lifetime for me. Thank you, sir.

Dear Dr. McFerrin (Bobby!),
Thank you so much for your music and way of being in the world! I hope to see you soon at one of your CircleSongs events in Berkeley. And I hope in some way to contribute to personal and collective healing through making music together with others in some way, for the rest of my life.
with love,
