I guess the winds changed.
Did you see that? Now I know, Richard Sherman and his brother are the ones who wrote the (infamous earworm!) song
“It’s A Small World After All”.
A time far gone. Thanks for the memories.
Mary Poppins (1964} was 60 years ago. Walt died shortly after in 1966 at age 65. He would be 122 now.
Man has a dream and that's the start
He follows his dream with mind and heart
And when it becomes a reality
It's a dream come true for you and me
So there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Shining at the end of every day
There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Just a dream away
Yesterday′s memories may sparkle and gleam,
tomorrow is still but a dream.
Right here and now,
you've got it made.
The world′s forward marching and you're in the parade!
Now is the time.
Now is the best time.
Be it a time of joy or strife.
There's so much to cheer for, be glad you′re here.
For it′s the best time of your life.
The man did Aristocats, Snoopy Come Home AND Tom Sawyer too?! Good Lord... he had far more impact on my child hood than I realized.
Godspeed good sir and rest assured that you were and are far more talented than anything Disney has put out in decades.
Genius songwriter with his brother.
Small World has to be the most disgusting ear worm ever recorded.
But Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was one of the most fun to sing when you are a kid...
Those guys were prolific as all get out. I had no idea how many songs they did that had an impact in our lives. Disney was magic back then. Its a zombie shell of what once was great.
Condolences to family and friends of Richard Sherman. Very talented individual contributing to the greatness of America.
Inevitable, I know, but I’m so sorry to hear this. I saw him as a surprise guest in a Charles Phoenix retro culture event in downtown Los Angeles at the Disney concert hall years ago. He played the piano and singing it’s a small world as he originally arranged it, a very slow version that was so much more meaningful than the puppet theme it’s known for.
Rest In Peace, Richard.
What about his cousin Alan?
Watch the bio-documentary of “The Boys” about the brothers. It is excellent, the words in this article uses song that are nothings compared to what they did create. It was touching and left an impression of the beautiful time us Boomers were blessed to live in. Entertainment was, entertaining, fresh and GAY.
Society took that word from us. I hate the “gays” for that before even thinking of their putrid acts.
