You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Here's another song from Bobby's 2010 album.

He's so under rated and it makes me mad when people only know him as a one hit wonder. He's been on so many albums before and after "Don't Worry Be Happy".

the first song i ever remember hearing from him is the 'medicine man' one, actually. 'don't worry be happy', yeah... not much to say to that one. i agree that he is underrated. we used to see him walking down the street in NYC and stuff. he is extremely skilled.
