BOBBY McFERRIN - Simple Pleasures LP 88 w Medicine Music CD 90 w Bang Zoom CD 95


 REPOST and ADD ON:  Well, had to get his big album with 'Don't Worry Be Happy' on it so I grabbed at Goodwill.  Afterall, I used to play winter ice hockey with my Uptown, MN buddies right outside his mansion on Lake Of The Isles when he was leading the MN orchestra.  He makes instrument sounds with his nose and mouth which is kind of unique also.  Here is what Discogs says:  Real Name: Robert Keith McFerrin, Jr.
