Last night I watched a documentary on The Sherman Brothers, titled The Boys.
The brothers are responsible for the lyrics and music of some of the most memorable movies, theater and 1950’s hits - songs we all know but are unfamilar as to how - music that, now, are ingrained in the psyche of childhood - optimistic rhymes and graceful tunes that get stuck in your head for hours: think chim-chimney, chim-chimney chim chim cheree.
The Shermans are a relic. They were Walt Disney’s right hand men. They wrote music that encompassed great human ideals simply, purely and timelessly…(yes…they wrote the music to Disney’s most famed ride: It’s A Small World After All).
