Interesting, it looks like Robert McFerrin was the father of Bobby McFerrin
of DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY fame.
According to Wikipedia Bobby's father was attending Chicago Musical College
around the time of Sunbeam's existence.

"Graduating from high school in 1940, McFerrin enrolled at Fisk University
in Nashville, Tennessee. Following his freshman year the young baritone won
a scholarship to attend Chicago Musical College and transferred to that
institution. World War II and the Draft interrupted McFerrin's schooling,
but he returned to Chicago Musical College after discharge and received his
degree in 1948."
