The Sherman Brothers were a big part of the soundtrack to my childhood. RIP.

The number of people left alive who knew Walt Disney personally is shrinking.

Why did the Sherman Brothers fall out all those years ago? Was it something to do with Richard's relationship with Robert's wife (adulterous or mutual dislike)? Either way, something bad went down between them.

There's an excellent documentary called "The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story" that goes into that in detail, R9. Older brother Robert was always the more reserved of the two, and his PTSD from World War II gave him an even darker disposition. This caused him to resent easygoing younger brother Richard, along with the fact that Richard avoided the draft altogether due to his young age. If not for their dependence on each other as songwriters, they probably would have been estranged decades before it actually happened.
The documentary is on Disney+ if you're interested.

Wait, you're going to reduce the career of the man who wrote "The Age of Not Believing", "The Bare Necessities", "Feed the Birds", and dozens of other songs that enriched the imaginations of generations of children to one song for a shitty old Disneyland boat ride, and then dismiss him based on that one song?
Never change, Datalounge. Never change.

It's a hallmark of 90's/Aughties humor to make light of one's annoyances and backhandedly stratify one's self while doing so. It's no accident DL hasn't moved out on from that l, r11.

I met Richard Sherman around 2007, and he was lovely and gracious with some great stories. I also met Burt Bacharach at around the same time, who was also very pleasant with some great stories. They were both close to 80 then. My takeaway at the time what is that Richard Sherman behaved like a very sweet, kindly old uncle, and he dressed us such. Burt on the other hand, was still quite handsome, still very stylish, knew how to dress and carry himself, and there was little doubt in my mind that he was scoring more babes than guys half age. My two cents.

"Mary Poppins" was my favorite record when I was a kid. It was Richard Sherman himself who sang "I Love to Laugh" on that recording.
RIP

I just listened to Chim Chim Charee the other day (on a Disney 100th anniversary CD) and it's a very haunting little tune.

R1 We did get a call and a deep husky voice expressed condolences. Could have been either.

YES R11, definitely. That one tune has mocked my sanity since first hearing it at the tender age of 4 while at Disneyland.

Feed the Birds is definitely beautifully done. As a child I found the number boring - but now I realize it's a truly a lovely sentiment and a wonderful tune. I can see why it was Walt Disney's favorite.

I always thought the Sherman brothers were twins. Guess I never looked at them very closely.

I was just thinking about Mary Poppins last night for some reason.
I remember reading an interview with Richard Sherman ages ago in which he said Walt Disney was like a second father to him and his brother, which surprised me. I always thought he was a bit of a cold man behind the scenes.
