During research the other day I discovered that Richard Sherman is still alive at 92. Definitley one Chirpy would have not allowed, but you will all know many of the songs he wrote with his late brother. Including the soundtracks to "Jungle Book" (except "Bare Necessities"), "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". They also wrote "You're Sixteen".
