RIP this legend

Rest in Peace, Richard Sherman

Richard can finally play it again for Walt on Friday afternoons ❤ rest in peace 🕊️

These legends have drifted in Disney history. So wonderful that technology allows us to feel those symtamental moments.

Rest in Peace Richard M. Sherman (6/12/1928 - 5/25/2024) 🍞 🕊️ 🪙 💼 Now you’re finally reunited with your brother & music partner, Robert and your friend, Walt Disney.

The love this man has for his boss is immeasurable. Walt still lives in him...

Joe

The power of this song is such, that when I was a kid I didn't understand a word of it, but I could follow the imagery, and felt a deep sense of sadness. Now, I can't listen to it without crying.

A song about how it does not take much to give and be kind, even when you have "tuppence". A beautiful piece. 🧡

Mary Poppins is probably my favorite Disney movie of all time. I grew up watching the movie over and over as a kid, and a little while back I got to play a chimney sweep in a community theater production of Mary Poppins. Rest in peace, Mr Sherman. The music you and Robert wrote has touched kids and adults. I know you and your brother are writing music again.

Ive been lucky to go to Disney Orlando twice .. the first time i went i walked with my young sons to Cinderella s castle , touched it and cried ... for me it was so moving being there with my boys ...we had a Magical 2 weeks each time we went ...i hope that one day i can go back there before i leave the earth forever...

Songs that defined my childhood from the scores of Mary Poppins to Jungle Book to legendary rides like It’s a Small World The Tiki Room and so many others. What a giant and what a beautiful soul. We will continue to feed the birds in your honor.

And Walt was smiling down on you Richard as you sang his special song one more time.. for his birthday 💗🎁

Walt Disney, one of the greatest person ever born.

Richard Sherman is a class act and, in everyone’s opinion I’ve heard, a gargantuan talent. In the words of the songwriters of the new Mary Poppins film, he and his brother were touched by God. I’m not religious but I think they’re right.

Walt Disney would be proud and laughing one of his favorite songs ever he may be gone but not forgotten still going strong god bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to go I'm left speechless one of my favorite songs ever and also love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock way to go !!❤❤😂😅 Joe

This song never fails to make me cry

Walt fed his birds (us) with his movies, cartoons and TV shows...thanks Mr.Disney, we are full....

Where would this world be without the Sherman Brothers. I would sing "Colonel Hathi's March (The Elephant Song)" to my kids when they were little crusters.

My kids LOVED that song and I'd do the same as I'd chase them up to bed, "HUP! 2-3-4 Pick it up! 2-3-4". Ahhhh... good times. Then they have to go and grow up. ;-) :-D

A singing voice made beautiful by all the love, history and magic behind that song and that film.

I cried so much....

Thank you for posting this video. I was there standing in front of what is now Jolly Holiday Bakery. It truly was an emotional beautiful experience. One of my top favorite moments in my Disneyland career.

We were standing in just about the same spot! It was a beautiful moment, really. :-)

Grateful to finally see this. I met Richard in 2014 at a 50th anniversary for the Tiki Room. He told the story about this moment and the bird landing on the piano. I'm sorry we didn't get to see it, I imagine it was out of the frame but the fact we could her one chirping means it was somewhere within range of his microphone. I think Richard said it was on the other side of the piano itself.

I was there that day, right up front, surrounded by Cast Members watching the show. The bird never landed on the piano. Toward the end of the song, the lone bird (FYI - a bird release was not a part of the show that day) flew up from around the Frontierland area, then stopped and hovered directly over the piano for a few seconds as Richard Sherman played. Although the video doesn't pick it up, the moment the bird hovered, there was a collective audible gasp from the audience that Richard hears and responds to at the 10:33 mark, where you can hear a little clapping too. A-freaking-mazing!

Playing it one last time for the Old Boss.

An incredibly beautiful song. Very special.

What a beautiful memory.

This song makes me want to cry. I learned the spanish version, because I'm a spanish speaker. But no matter which the language it is, it still touches my heart. Tuppence a bag 💕

Richard mentioned this in a behind the scenes of Mary Poppins. He was told that just toward the end, out of the clear blue sky. There was one bird who flew down over where Richard was playing and off again into the clouds. He said it was Walt Disney saying thanks.

I love Mary poppins It is a amazing film I think of My Teacher mr. Rank and how the kids were mean to him I was the only one who cared and I also think my Grandma Jan is similar to Mary Poppins she and I draw and paint together and I think of how imaginative she is and when my Grandma had a bakersists in her Leg and when Gradpa got sick with a enmounia It was difficult to watch

I swear there’s a time where he played this song and a bird landed on the piano and stayed there till the song ended. Anyone know where the video is?

I remember a collective *gasp* from the audience that I did not hear in this video ! I must be wrong he MUST have played it at other Disney celebrations ! I want to see that whole performance ! Disney still is there and I play it for him I believe that this whole thing is SO WEIRD !

This movie is a classic Disney or not it has all the quality that made it a classic. To have remade that movie was a insult to Mr Disney and to the original cast. There was a lot of hard and ground breaking work done on this movie and in the end it all paid off for all of the people involved in the movie and for Mr Disney. And I don't mean just money wise either.

But it was NOT remade. It was a new chapter in the books. Give it a try and see what you think...
