Sherman Brothers Songbook 2009


About the Album: RICHARD M. SHERMAN and ROBERT B. SHERMAN - They were hired by Walt Disney himself as his first and only staff songwriters. Their music has been an important part of motion pictures, theme park attractions, television productions, records, compact discs and Broadway shows - entertaining millions of people all over the world. Presented here are 59 songs highlighting The Sherman Brothers' incredibly prolific Disney years - from Annette's 1959 hit "Tall Paul" to their work from The Tigger Movie in 2000. Newly restored with the latest digital technology, this collection features not only their landmark hits from Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh, The Jungle Book, and "it's a small world", but a number of their other classics - many available for the first time on CD.

These genres and more are represented as we travel through the Sherman Brothers' Disney career from the very beginning. The extensive Liner Notes reveal the stories behind the songs; illustrated with candid photos of the Shermans at work, and with the star-studded gallery of artists who performed their classic songs.
