Finally had a chance to go looking for this...
Bobby does the intro, some backing vocals, some rhythmy/bass stuff, guitar solo (2:09-2:35, plus towards the end), etc with his voice while Robin sings. My favourite things about this cover are the intro (!!) and Robin's singing - very cool cover actually.

Cool one - not heard that version before. He never fails to blow my mind. If you like the intro, try get McFerrin's Simple Pleasures CD - all similar acapella stuff. Some great acapella covers on that album too - Cream's Sunshine Of Your Love, the Beatles' Drive My Car, etc.
I love when he makes up stuff on the spot, like this, where he uses random stuff from the audience and makes up things to go along with it and eventually uses the audience themselves as part of the improvisation:
Or this:
Not available on YouTube, but Circle Songs is amazing, where he does a similar thing with a team of professional singers. He makes something up on the spot and passes it on to to one or more of the singers to continue, then makes up the next part.

Love McFerrin - got a DVD of his with quite a wide selection of stuff from his career. Including the Ava Maria where the audience sang with.
My favourites, though, are probably:
- Drive
- Thinking about your body (AWESOME song ?)
- Don't worry be happy (of course!)
- And then ALL of his stuff with Yo-Yo Ma (just too amazing!)
- Blackbird
I love his sense of humour ? And Yo-Yo Ma is nothing short of a genius. His playing is divine. Listen to ClassicFM for a week - you'll hear what I mean. Amazing player!

I have a copy of Hush - great album. Love Yo-Yo. I want to get McFerrin's Bach CD too sometime.

If I had the bucks, I might need a whole 2nd story for all the CDs I want! ?
And then I'd also need a MEGA jukebox to go with it ?
