Music History Part 3
In 1995, I was fortunate enough to be an exchange student. I spent a month in picturesque Aschaffenburg, Germany.
While I was there, I was surrounded with the fact that the number one hit was Scatman John’s single Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop). Never mind that there were more significant albums, like the hit Smurf’s album…
I encourage you to read the Wikipedia article about the Scatman… he was a true humanitarian to the end. We need more artists and talent like him. Simply put, he refused to let his limitation define him. Rather, he embraced it and used it as a platform to encourage others.
I can listen to this song dozens of times in a row, and still feel moved. We have a lot to learn from “The Scatman”… especially that we can overcome any challenge we are presented with.
