Babatundé was a protégé of the legendary Sammy Davis, Jr., who praised him, saying, "This is the only cat who can do everything I can do." With his impressive range of talents, Obba Babatundé can dance, sing, play instruments, execute impersonations, including his iconic portrayal of Davis, aided by their striking similarity in energy, size, and talent, tap dancing, and performing on multiple instruments.

Early in 2000, Babatundé partnered with writer/producer Ruth Adkins Robinson for a series of TV projects, including "TV in Black: The First 50 Years," "Oscar's Black Odyssey: From Hattie to Hallie," and "Dorthy Dandridge: An American Beauty." The duo has several projects lined up to take them through 2011.

He has also played notable roles in films like How High, Life, Philadelphia, The Manchurian Candidate, and That Thing You Do!, as well as lending his voice to animated projects like The Wild Thornberrys Movie. He has had recurring roles on various TV shows, including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Chicago Hope, Rocket Power, Static Shock, and Karen Sisco.
