The ‘Sing Off’ finale was a musical journey of 2 hours, in which the groups battled it out for a Sony Music contract and a prize of $100,000.

Third place went to Voices of Lee, from Lee University, Cleveland, Tennessee. The Sing-Off Finale also included a performance by Smokey Robinson and Boyz II Men.

One of the judges of the show was Bobby McFerrin. He had recorded and sang the hit song, “Don’t Worry be Happy,” released way back in September 1988. It became the first a cappella song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a position it held for two weeks.
