BURBANK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
On October 13, 2009 Walt Disney Records releases a two-disc retrospective
collection of music by award-winning songwriting team, Robert Sherman and
Richard Sherman. Hired by Walt Disney himself as his first and only staff
songwriters, the Sherman Brothers music has been an important part of motion
pictures, theme park attractions, television productions, records, compact
discs, and Broadway shows - entertaining millions of people all over the world.

The two-disc set includes 59 songs highlighting the Sherman Brothers' incredibly
prolific Disney years - from Annette's 1959 hit "Tall Paul" to their work from
The Tigger Movie in 2000. Newly restored with the latest digital technology,
this collection features not only their landmark hits from Mary Poppins, Winnie
the Pooh, The Jungle Book, and "it's a small world," but a number of their other
classics - many available for the first time on CD.

Their voluminous repertoire is only matched by their musical versatility -
composing in styles from Rock 'n Roll and English Music Hall to Samba and March.
These genres and more are represented throughout the Sherman Brothers' Disney
career. The extensive liner notes reveal the stories behind the songs and are
illustrated with candid photos of the Shermans at work, and also with the
star-studded gallery of artists who performed their classic songs.

Artist highlights include Annette Funicello ("Tall Paul" and "Pineapple
Princess"), Hayley Mills ("Let`s Get Together"), Annette and The Beach Boys
("The Monkey`s Uncle"), Louis Prima ("I Wan`na Be Like You"), Louis Armstrong
("Ten Feet off the Ground"), and Maurice Chevalier ("The Aristocats"), plus
beloved songs from Mary Poppins featuring Julie Andrews and DickVan Dyke ("Chim
Chim Cher-ee," "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious") and many others. The
collection also includes three bonus tracks from the 1969 Disneyland Records
release of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang performed by The Mike Sammes Singers.

Among the 150-plus Disney songs that Robert and Richard Sherman co-wrote are
more than 35 songs for Annette; the songs and oftentimes score to such classic
films as Mary Poppins, TheJungle Book, The Aristocratsand Winnie the Pooh;
andit`s a small world, one of the many unforgettable tunes for Disney`s Theme
Park attractions. Between 1961 and 1974, the Shermans penned the songs for 28
Disney films, wrote music for Disneyland and Walt Disney World attractions, and
composed songs for 25 Disney television shows includingThe Horsemasters, and the
theme fromThe Wonderful World of Color. During the course of their career, the
Shermans received two Academy Awards and two Grammy Awards for Mary Poppins as
well as numerous other Academy nominations over the years.

Throughout their long association with The Walt Disney Company, The Sherman
Brothers proved to be one of the most creative, influential and prolific
songwriting teams. The Sherman Brothers Songbook documents the extraordinary
career of Robert and Richard Sherman and celebrates an unquestionable standard
in popular music. With their genius for songwriting and storytelling, the
Shermans will always be part of the magic of Disney.
