The chart-topping single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' from Simple Pleasures (1988) hit No. 1 with zero instruments on it. Every bass note and percussion hit is Bobby McFerrin's own voice, multi-tracked — there was never a band.

Paulinho Da Costa played percussion on Thriller, the best-selling pop album of all time — and the same player also turns up on Miles Davis's 1989 fusion album Amandla. One musician's hands span the era's biggest pop record and a serious late-period Miles session.
