Bobby McFerrin, Paul Simon perform impromptu on NY Jazz at Lincoln Center’s opening night

In his unique style, McFerrin had just started singing “Scarborough Fair” at Thursday night’s concert — singing the lyrics while using his voice as a musical accompaniment — when he suddenly stopped to say that someone had spotted Simon in the audience.

Simon initially demurred. But with the audience cheering, McFerrin said in a high-pitched falsetto: “I just think you can sing this one better than I can.”

“How could you do that to me,” Simon said good-naturedly as he joined McFerrin onstage at the Rose Theater for an unexpected guest turn.
