R.I.P. Robert B. Shermen
 

It has come to my attention that Robert Sherman, one half of the Sherman Brothers has passed away.

He and his brother wrote *many* classic Disneyland songs, such as:

There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow

It's a Small World

The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room

And co-wrote (with his brother) almost, if not all of the songs for the following films:

Mary Poppins

The Jungle Book

The Aristocats

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

The Tigger Movie

And many, many others.

He and his brother became Disney legends in 1990, and were awarded the prestigious National Medal of Arts in 2008, the highest honor bestowed upon artists by the USA government.
Having grown up listening to his music, and knowing I am not the only one, I feel that it is important to pay my humble respects to his musical genius.

"There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, Shining at the end of every day." ~The Sherman Brothers
