That is sad.... He and his brother were wonderful song writers.
RIP

Very sad. The Sherman brothers are as far as I am concerned the best song writing duo in history. Most song writers hope that they just have one song that will endure for all time. The Sherman brothers have written and Everest size mountain of music that will live forever.

It's a Small World has given me and my family endless joy for three decades now. As my mother's favourite, the song is important to me too. I'm not at Disney until I've heard this Sherman creation!
Sad news. RIP.

Pulled a monstrous list of contributions to the theme parks. This also may be an incomplete list seeing as I pulled it from Wikipedia. In my opinion one of the most influential people that dealt with the parks probably because even after leaving the parks you are still singing and humming his songs.

Tremendous talent. Will be missed. Thanks for all the great songs. Hopefully he's performing Feed the Birds in person again for Walt.

'The Boys' wrote much of my life's soundtrack... not a day goes by that I don't listen to, hum, sing, or God help me, whistle a piece of their wonderful music. Godspeed, Robert, and thank you so much!

Ain't that the truth! Songs from Winnie the Pooh alone fill our days around here!
I would love to find some really simple sheet music of some of their songs for my kids to play on piano. I found some simple Disney music books that came with recorders (found them in Costco here in Canada), the sheet music is written for the recorder but works for the piano as well. I would love to find something similar of the Sherman brothers.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
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 bet it was nice for him to know Disney re-opened the original Tiki Room before he died. Also Disney should re-open the original ride of Imagination as maybe a tribute to him. :shrug:

The last original pavilion. :king:
