Robert Sherman has passed

[JiminyandTink]

Very sad news. He and his brother had a level of genius that doesn't come around often.

His songs are the soundtrack to millions and millions of childhoods. I'm sure he's up there playing "Feed the Birds" to Walt right now. RIP Mr. Sherman.

Heard it on the radio earlier today.
I did not know that he had written so many Disney songs!

 

[HM GhostHostess]

This is terribly sad. I just recently watched the The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story and I gained an even greater appreciation for Robert and Richard's work and their relationship with the Walt Disney Company. It's a shame to lose such a musical genius.

Rest in peace Robert Sherman. His family is in my prayers. And his legacy and spirit will live on through his music.

Quite sad indeed, but glad to hear he went peacefully.

And as bad as it may sound, I honestly thought he had already died. He's never seen at any events, so I guess I just assumed he had passed. Now I'm sorry to hear he was battling for this life all this time

Solid SONGS

They have made some of the greatest contributions to the Walt Disney legacy, it's too bad

Very sad, him and his brother have given so many movies and attractions such great and memorable songs.

RIP Mr. Sherman. We are blessed by his voluminous amount of great work. Prayers to your family and friends.

I didn't hear this...thank you WDWMagic.

This is really sad. There should be a pavilion or maybe that section of the Narnia attraction at Hollywood Studios for the Sherman brothers.

I love this idea, at least just temporarily.

 

[CaptainJackNO]

Huge loss. So sad.

Between this and the Ralph McQuirre news this weekend, I fear who will finish off this heart wrenching trifecta.

We could only hope to bring as much joy to this world as Robert Sherman.

Classy! What a nice, understated way to note his passing there at Disneyland's Main Street USA.

That's a very expensively created wreath using real flowers and live materials too. And it was up within hours of news of his passing. :animwink:

Here's a link to a video that showcases Robert Sherman's personal favorite among all their songs. Give it a listen - it's wonderful!

I was just going to recommend this film for everyone. If you have not seen, please do. It is a must-see for Disney fans.

And the DVD is filled with lots of good extras also, clips that are goldmines.

But the film itself, which was made by their sons, really does a good job showing their relationship with each other as well as with Disney. It's engaging.
