Scatman John

John Paul Larkin better known as Scatman John is an American born (Mar 13) musician and is best known combining eurodance and the art of scatting, most notably on the UK Top 3 and Canada Dance #1 hit, "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)". Scatman John legitimately had a stutter and this interview and performance illustrates his talent.

90 Hits (Discography):
Date	   UK	Song
May 1995    3	Scatman
Sep 1995   10	Scatman's World

What happened next?
Tragically, Scatman John passed away on Dec 3, 1999. Twenty years later, Lou Bega paid a fitting tribute with the "Hatman" revamp.
