Bobby McFerrin

Bobby McFerrin (lahir 11 Maret 1950 ) adalah seorang vokalis jazz Amerika Serikat. Dia dikenal karena teknik vokalnya, seperti bernyanyi dengan lancar tetapi dengan lompatan yang cepat dan cukup banyak — misalnya, mempertahankan melodi sambil juga dengan cepat berganti-ganti dengan arpeggio dan harmoni — juga lagu-lagu scat, bernyanyi nada polifonik, dan perkusi vokal improvisasi.
