You know it. "There is just one moon and one golden sun.." From school assembly halls across the world to wind up music boxes containg little girls jewellery. Sadly, the man behind the song has passed away.
Robert Sherman died peacefully in London, where he had spent his final years. Sherman along with his surviving brother Richard were the Disney songwriting golden boys that penned over 150 songs for the company including Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, A Spoonful of Sugar and Winnie the Pooh. In his lifetime Robert shared with Richard nine Academy Award nominations, winning two, 2 Grammy Awards, 4 Grammy Award nominations, a Tony nomination, and 23 gold and platinum albums. I wonder if we will ever see the Shermans brand of innocent, happy go lucky, peaches and cream songwriting ever again ?
Checkout the clip below " Disneyland Goes to The World Fair 1964" it's as cute as a bugs ear and showcases the song " It's a Small World" in it's many worldly formats....classic.
