This C.D. (2013) has something for everyone, and lots for the Disney fan. Some of these songs go back a long ways, and bring back fond memories. It represents a wide variety of Disney movies and t.v. For example there is "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" from an early cartoon. However these are mostly movie songs, "Whistle While you Work," (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) "When You Wish Upon a Star,"(Pinocchio) "When I see an Elephant Fly" (Dumbo) and "Little April Shower" (Bambi) are some early Disney classics. "The Three Caballeros" reminds me of "Ay Jalisco". There is "Zip-A-Dee-Doo Dah" sung by James Baskett and Burl Ives sings "Lavender Blue" (So Dear to my Heart). Other later classics include: "A Dream is a Wish You Heart Makes" (Cinderella) and "What a Dog" (Lady and the Tramp) "Once Upon a Dream" (Sleeping Beauty) and "Cruella De Vil" (101 Dalmatians).
My favorite of all the songs is Julie Andrews, "A Spoonful of Sugar" (Mary Poppins). Burl Ives sings another, "The Ugly Bug Ball" (Summer Magic). Pearl Bailey offers up "Best of Friends" (Fox and Hound), which is the concluding number to the C.D. and a beautiful place to stop.
This C.D. is for Disney lovers. Reminds me of the sing-a-long videos we use to have.
