With the passing of older brother Robert B Sherman today, let's give thanks and share our memories past and present about what their music...it's amazing to me that no matter what Disney theme park or what country you live in you probably know by heart the Lyrics to at least one or two of their songs......it's really hard for me to imagine Disneyland without hearing It's a Small World, or the tiki room and it's a great big beautiful tomorrow...or my youth as a little kid going to my first movie and hearing I wanna be like you form the Jungle book...the memories go on and on to trying to learn the step and time dance from Mary Poppins to doing the Tigger dance in the parks while humming in my head the wonderful things about Tiggers..We have been so blessed that these two men created such wonderful music and helped create the soundtrack of our lives.....Thank You Robert for all you have done....say hi to Walt for me

Our lives have all been forever enriched by God's gift of "the boys." - MelodyMouse  941.5 #92 10:53PM
To be honest had it not been for MW and mentioning of their documentary I would not know how much of an impact these two men had on my childhood. I can not thank him enough for sharing his talents with the world! He will be missed. My condolences to the family...✨😌🙏 - toph  2397.6 #25 10:54PM

This really is sad and I remember this video with Walt. I swear I saw it not long ago but it was too short. I could have watched them for hours. - SUUZinOC  715.0 #140 1:00AM
Well said! Another Disney Angel in heaven now👼RIP! - MickeyPrincess  28.5 #4438 11:10AM
I feel like we've lost Walt all over again. RIP Robert Sherman...we will treasure what you gave us always - KissDclown  1088.1 #76 11:49AM

💗R.I.P💗 thank you for all the wonderdul music! May you rest with the angels!! 🙏🙏 - Aurora_2020  257.8 #925 10:39PM
Wow. You just made me cry. Of everything they wrote, Mary Poppins had the biggest impact. I know every note of every song. I think the most impressive aspect of their music is it's timelessness. It's as fresh and wonderful today as it was the day it was written. - VeloMouseGirl  549.7 #202 10:42PM
How fortunate we are that the Sherman Brothers gave us such great music.  They wrote real songs that we'll all be singing along to for years to come!  R.I.P. Robert.  - msdizmaui  518.6 #224 10:44PM
That was nicely said. Disney wouldn't be the same without the music🎵We will always remember you with every song🎵 - Boundin  423.6 #298 10:45PM
well said my friend, rip robert. - chris.  2507.1 #24 10:45PM
He touched so many people and his music sparks so many memories. Personally The Tiki Room music touches me. Yes it's a little cheesy and not everyone likes it in there but I love it and it's part of my personal Disneyland history. - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #106 10:49PM
Wow Dave. Can't believe you're at 6000. Congrats! - DisneyRose  240.8 #1096 10:53PM
The world has lost an amazing man today. His musical contributions will live on forever. I don't think a day goes by that one of his songs doesn't enter my head and I burst out singing. - Gia  782.1 #118 10:57PM
Well said Dave. Thank you for the post. So much of their music has had such an influence in my life and clearly in the lives so many other Disney fans. I'm so thankful for their music. So sad. - CherryTreeLane  456.4 #269 10:57PM
his passing is strange timing, I have been singing One little Spark from Epcot the last three days probably for other reasons but it just goes to show you how many songs they have that are embedded in you're head... - Dave  8630.6 #2 10:59PM
And brings joy to our hearts as we sing them. Also brings joy to my son as I sing him many of the songs they created. - lilo84  374.5 #365 11:03PM
Oh my 😢may he rest in peace he will live on through the music they created - lilo84  374.5 #365 11:00PM
Well said Dave... - disneymomma1  316.1 #535 11:06PM

Recently I was watching the Winnie The Pooh movie credits and thought "is there any great Disney music and lyrics that these brothers have not touched?". RIP Mr. Sherman. - PrincessDuckie  576.1 #189 8:05AM
I loved seeing videos of them talking about their music, especially the one where he sings It's a Small World as the originally intended ballad. I see the entire ride in a whole new prespective. The depth at which their music reaches the heart is amazing. So glad we can cherish it forever. - cynDOLEwhip  744.1 #137 10:31AM
Well said. Thanks for posting. Their music is as important to Disneyland as anything. RIP. - angryduck  98.7 #3038 10:34AM
I was so sad to hear this earlier, and stopped it to Mousewait to make sure this had been posted. He will be truly missed. If you haven't seen "The Boys" documentary about he and his brother, you should. They have an amazing story. RIP, Robert. - saralovesdisney  120.3 #2729 10:56AM
Thank you for posting this. Very nicely put. A slice of us all has indeed moved on. - Roto  242.9 #1068 11:12AM
Farewell to a musical genius. - BuccanEAR  282.7 #711 11:16AM
Not a day goes by that I don't have one of their songs going through my head, bringing a smile to my face and happiness in my heart. It was just last Wednesday that I stopped at the Sherman Brother's door on Main Street and smiled and felt a special Thank You for the soundtrack of so much of my life. I had my husband stop and take pictures of it for me. So sad to hear of his passing. Through his music he will live forever. Swift Travels Robert Sherman. - Autoalice  135.0 #2517 11:20AM

He definitely left behind a legacy - DisneyFan(tasmic)  188.0 #1767 11:50AM
Thank you Mr Sherman. I never realized how much of an influence you have made in our lives and the world. I hope you have a chance to play for Mr Disney once again. I learned so much about you and your brother in that documentary that was very highly reccomended to me. Thank you for all you gave to us. - Butterlina  1307.4 #61 12:09PM
Truly sad to hear of his passing. He will forever live through his gift of music. An amazing man, may he rest in peace. My condolences. - Ericksenator  374.8 #364 12:10PM
Thank you for the wonderful music you have given to Disneyland for all of us to enjoy and make memories with! Your songs are so memeroble that they are known nation wide! - TinkgirlMel  164.2 #2097 12:15PM
I agree with everything said here. A loss indeed. Loved "The Sherman Boys" and "Feed The Birds" will always be a song I wish I was able to sing even remotely like Julie Andrews. RIP - LillyBelle  77.1 #3313 12:19PM
Now when I go to Disneyland I will look at the Sherman brothers window on main street. - Chumash28  763.3 #129 12:36PM

Truly a legacy never to be forgotten by young and old . Our deepest sympathy and prayers to his family. - SeñorBuzz&Jessie  62.4 #3521 1:07PM
So sad to lose such a wonderful songwriter. But, he's with Walt now sitting around that piano in the sky saying "play that song for me agin Bob". I'd hate to imagine what or where Disney's films would have gone if he didn't have this 1/2 of the genius behind the music! - DiscoSteve  252.3 #984 1:41PM
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and Chim Chim Cher-ee are my favorites.  What a wonderful legacy he has left us all to cherish. Thanks for posting. - Alicewhoareyou  535.7 #209 1:46PM
