1. Bobby Mcferrin - Don’t Worry

The song 'Don't Worry' is a song by African-America musician Bobby McFerrin. The track was released in 1988 and was featured on the album called 'Simple Pleasures'. Many musicians have covered the song, covers include a version by Kidz Bop in 2006, Hermes house band in 2009, The Bustlers in 1988 and many more. It's a common misconception that reggae musician Bob Marley was the original artist however Marley died seven years before the song was even written. The misconception is made worse by a YouTube video called 'Bob Marley - Dont Worry Be Happy' and its accumulation of over 160 million views that continues to lead people to believe that he was the original.
