The Death of Robert Sherman

The beloved composer Robert Sherman passed away in London today. Together the Disney legend alongside his brother Richard were responsible for some of the most enduring songs of all time, among them the score of Mary Poppins, 'It's a Small World', Winnie the Pooh, and many many more.

Sherman's son said of his father that "his rule in writing songs was keep it singable, simple and sincere," a beautiful notion on the fact that in the simplest things can be found something universal. Also, that which "seems so simple is really very complex."

John Lasseter, of Pixar and Disney, once said "you cannot forget a Sherman brothers song for your life." I couldn't agree more.
