1986 Throwback



It's Thursday folks and that only means one thing...THE WEEKEND STARTS TOMORROW! So don't worry and be happy, and this tune will get you well on your way to three day break or a whirlwind.

Here is Bobby McFerrin's one hit wonder "Don't Worry Be Happy". The single was released in 1986 and the album, Don't Worry Be Happy was debuted in 1988.



In September of, this track became the first a cappella song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and held that position for two weeks. On the UK Singles Chart, the song reached number 2 during its fifth week on the chart. At the 1989 Grammy Awards, "Don't Worry Be Happy" won the awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. The song's title is taken from a famous quote by Meher Baba. The original music video stars Robin Williams and Bill Irwin. The "instrumentals" in the a cappella song are entirely overdubbed voice parts and other sounds made by McFerrin, using no instruments at all. ENJOY
