Introduction
If you’re a fan of country music, then you’ll undoubtedly be familiar with the song “John Tesh’s World” by Bobby Bare. The song was released in 1966 and has since become an iconic hit that is often played at sporting events and during patriotic ceremonies. In this article, we will take a look at the history of the song and how it came to be such a popular hit.
How the song was written
John Tesh wrote the song “Bobby’s World” in 1984 while he and Bobby McFerrin were on tour. The song was a direct response to the events of John Lennon’s murder.
According to Tesh, he and McFerrin were driving around Los Angeles one night when they heard the news. They got out of their car and started singing “Happy Birthday” to each other, as a way of coping with the tragedy.
The song was recorded in 1984 and released as a single that year. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and stayed there for six weeks. It also topped the charts in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
The song has been covered by many different artists over the years. In 2003, it was performed by Will Smith and Kanye West during Smith’s movie “The Pursuit of Happyness”. In 2009, Cee Lo Green recorded a version for his album “Cee Lo Green Isolated Tracks”. Dolly Parton recorded a version for her album “Nine Lives”, which was released in 2013. Britney Spears recorded a version
The reaction to the song

Some people loved how catchy and upbeat the song was. Others found it to be cheesy and corny. However, no one could deny that the song was catchy. The song is based off of a children’s book called “John Tesh and the Magic Drum” which was written by Robert McCloskey.
