What it is
"Don't Worry, Be Happy" is a 1988 a cappella song written and performed by Bobby McFerrin, produced by Linda Goldstein and released as the lead single from his album Simple Pleasures. The title phrase traces back to the spiritual teacher Meher Baba, and McFerrin was drawn to its simplicity after seeing it on a poster in the apartment of the jazz duo Tuck & Patti.
