As half of The Sherman Brothers, Richard M. Sherman wrote songs for The Jungle Book, Mary Poppins, and dozens of other iconic films
Richard M. Sherman has died. As half, with his brother Robert , of legendary songwriting pair The Sherman Brothers , Sherman wrote some of the most iconic scores and songs to ever grace the Disney film library—and theme parks, with the pair’s “It’s A Small World ” making a strong case for itself as the most formidable ear worm in all of human history.
Drawing from the sounds of English music hall music, the Mary Poppins soundtrack—including Oscar winner “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” “A Spoonful Of Sugar,” and, of course, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”—was a smash hit, ultimately selling something like 6,000,000 records during its initial run.
