The Sherman Brothers truly had full understanding of the language and art of the songsmith,thier work for Disney and beyond is unparalleled.I knew Bob Sherman in his later years he was a kind man who loved everyone, he liked nothing more than to have visitors stop by for a chat and to give him a chance to read out aloud something he had been working on, Bob was an inspiration, his wit and humour was razor sharp
and you only had to be in the same room with him to realize just how magical this man was. God bless you Bob I will Miss you so much

Bob

It’s hard for me to listen to it and not think of “the boys”, Walt and everything they’ve created. Thanks for the article, Lou.

This was an incredible ode to a truly great man. I’m crying silently just as really their names are silently acknowledged in the parks, yet their music is the ultimate soundtrack of Disney. Even for not having met either of them in person, their music has had a profound effect on my life. From an early age, my father bought me the ‘Best of the Sherman Brothers’ CD. They inspired me to always remember that there is “a great big beautiful tomorrow” and everything was “just a dream away”. I always used to cry at ‘Feed the Birds’ as a child. Now knowing the significance behind the song, I cry even more. As a musician and an artist, the Sherman Brothers told me that every dream should be “ten feet off the ground” and with “fortuosity”, I could find four leaf clovers under castles. The Sherman Brothers inspired me in my dreams of working for Disney. They were their own voice, but conveyed the dreams of Walt and the company through the purest form of communication possible, music. I mourn for the passing of Bob Sherman. My condolences go to the family and his brother. Though he may not be physically here, the Sherman Brothers music will never die. Just walk “a step in the right direction” down Main Street USA in Disneyland and you can always find the Sherman Brother’s music store. I’m sure Bob would love to play a tune to anyone who asks.

Even thought she doesn’t speak English, she still understood the message of the song! I always remember her telling me how she felt when she first got on the ride, “I felt like the whole world is happy and smiling at that moment”. To me the song special for that reason, and because of the beautiful lyrics and wonderful melody. I admit, I sometimes shed a tear or two when I hear it!
RIP Bob…

That’ll Do Boys, Thank you and God Bless.

If you really understand that song, you can change the world. You can make it a better place and you can make history and a little bit magic with courage and character. That is so special in today’s world. People don´t take care anymoe and start so lose very simple things, just because they aren´t interested in it or their fellow men anymore. Personally for me, this is very sad to see. It was one of Walt Disney´s favorite songs too. That gives me the feeling to be close to him. I love the Sherman brothers songs. They´ll always mean a lot to me.

Then, once I got the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World for the first time, It’s a Small World quickly became my childhood favorite ride. It’s impossible to imagine either of these Disney experiences without the wonderfully catchy melodies and clever yet sinceer lyrics of the Sherman Brothers, so if I have to choose I would say that the Winnie the Pooh theme and It’s A Small World After All are my favorite of the Sherman Brother’s exceptional song catalogue. Even though I’m an adult now, I still find myself watching Pooh, riding It’s a Small World, or simply listen to their soundtracks (as well as those of the many other films and rides the Shermans have left their unique musical stamp on) and enjoying them just as much as I did way back then. Thank you, Robert Sherman, for all the joy and wonderful memories the songs you and your brother have brought me and so many others over the years.

Such a simple song and pretty melody. I feel very saddened.

RIP Mr. Sherman.
