Richard Sherman dead at the age of 95
The US composer Richard Sherman, known for his Disney songs, has died at the age of 95.
The creator of the film music for "Mary Poppins" and "The Jungle Book" died in Beverly Hills, Disney announced on Saturday. Together with his brother Robert, who died in 2012, he wrote over 200 songs for 27 films and around 20 television productions between 1960 and 1973.
Among other things, Richard Sherman co-wrote the song "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from the film "Mary Poppins", which won an Oscar for Best Song.
The musician was a "key member" of the "inner circle of creative talent" around company founder Walt Disney, explained the US entertainment company. "We are forever grateful for the mark Richard left on the world, and we extend our deepest condolences to his family," said Disney CEO Bob Iger.
