MEGGA HIT - Mr Scatman .....Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop
Scatman John, was an American singer-songwriter and musician.
A prolific jazz pianist and vocalist for several decades, he rose to prominence during the 1990s through his fusion of scat singing and dance music.
He recorded five albums, which were released between 1986 and 2002.
In the United States and Europe, Larkin is recognized for his 1995 singles "Scatman ( Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop )" and "Scatman's World".
He achieved his greatest success in Japan, where his album Scatman's World (1995) sold over a million copies.
Outside of his musical activities, he had deepened exchanges with stuttering organizations and established the Scatland Foundation in 1996 with the purpose of furthering research of and educating the public on stuttering.
Larkin was a recipient of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Annie Glenn Award for outstanding service to the stuttering community and a posthumous inductee to the National Stuttering Association Hall of Fame.
"Scatman John ( John Paul Larkin )"
To advance his career in 1990, Larkin moved to Berlin, Germany.
Once there, he discovered an appreciative jazz culture and started playing jazz gigs.
This was when he first decided to take a monumental step away from his insecurities and add singing to his act for the first time, inspired by a standing ovation he received for a performance at the Cafe Moscow in Berlin.
Soon after, his agent Manfred Zähringer from Iceberg Records (Denmark) thought of combining scat singing with modern dance music and hip hop effects.
Larkin was hesitant at first, terrified of being laughed at and criticized once again, but BMG Hamburg was open.
Larkin was worried that listeners would realize he stuttered, and his wife, Judy, suggested that he talk about it directly in his music.
Working with dance producers Tony Catania and Ingo Kays, he recorded the first single, "Scatman ( Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop )".
After his first big hit, he adopted the new name and persona of "Scatman" John.

You should hear the rest of his songs.
"Scatman's World," "The Invisible Man," etc. He was a living legend who was sadly underrated.
