Richard and his brother Robert — who died of natural causes in 2012 — caught their first big break in Hollywood in 1959 when their song “Tall Paul” reached #7 on the charts.


Its success caught the attention of Walt Disney who hired them to become staff songwriters for Walt Disney Studios … where they carved at a legendary career for themselves with classics like “Jungle Book,” “The Sword in the Stone,” و “Aristocats,” “The Parent Trap” and more. They also wrote the theme song for the Disneyland ride “It’s A Small World.”

لكن, their most iconic film has to be “Mary Poppins,” for which Richard won two Academy Awards — Best Score and Best Original Song.





The Shermans also wrote music for non-Disney films … such as “Charlotte’s Web,” “The Magic of Lassie,” “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” و “The Slipper and the Rose: The Story of Cinderella.”
