9. "I Feel Good (live)" {Brown} - Bobby McFerrin - The Voice [Elektra/Musician: 1984]
   Notes: From Wikipedia: When McFerrin's album was released in 1984, it was exceptional for several reasons. The use of computers, synthesizers, and electronics in music was on the rise while McFerrin relied solely on his voice. One of the songs on the album is called "I'm My Own Walkman". He fit in the tradition of bebop vocalists for whom sound dominated lyrics and who imitated the sounds of saxophones and trumpets. But like Al Jarreau, he went beyond them by imitating all the instruments: drums, bass, flute, horns, guitar. He thumped his chest with his hands for percussive effects. He was the first jazz singer to sing while inhaling in addition to exhaling. He gave concerts as a soloist without instrumental accompaniment.

From The Grip, 2013: Unfortunately the relationship between Reed and the hip-hop collective was less than amiable. Back in 2011, Quest member Phife Dawg claimed that Reed was the only one profiting from the success of the “Can I Kick It?” sample.
