Disney Musician Richard Sherman Has Died at Age 95

Disney announced revered composer Richard Sherman passed away on Saturday from “age-related illnesses.” He was 95 years old. Dubbed a “key member” of Walt Disney ’s creative inner circle, Sherman was born on June 12, 1928. He and his older brother Robert were part of a double act called the Sherman Brothers that started writing songs together after being challenged by their father Al, himself a popular songwriter.

Between them, the Sherman brothers are said to have written 1,000 songs and pieces of music across 50 movies. They’re also considered to be the writers of the most movie musical songs in all of film history. Both men would rack up plenty of awards and nominations, and Richard specifically won three Grammys and saw 24 of his albums go gold or platinum.
