Bobby McFerrin -"Heaven's Design"

One of my favorites--from the album, "Bang! Zoom!"(1995)

Heaven's Design is the best song Bobby's ever done IMO. It can stand up to the best singles of the last 15 years. I like it that much.

biggrin Yeah, I wish it had gotten more airplay!!

Unfortunately, I think "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is still that albatross around his neck, at least in terms of general public perception.....

That is a shame.
But if folks want to hang onto that myopic view and not see how talented this guy truly is based on the rest of his work, that's their loss.
