Answer 2

I've danced tap for years and I always find myself drawn to Bobby McFerrin.  I enjoy his playful musicality & that works really well with tap dancing.  It's like you can almost weave together the a capella sounds and taps.  They don't fight each other, but yet compliment instead.  I like how he doesn't hesitate to take a break in his songs and let the scatting do the work.  Just like you can let the tapping do the work.  "From Me to You" is a great song.  

Oh!  When Savion Glover came to my hometown to do a show, I specifically remember him using a Bobby McFerrin song.  He used it more like a call and response routine, the music would call, his taps would respond, he even got the audience involved.  I love Savion.

Hope this helps!
