The nine-time Oscar winner died today at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Beverly Hills

A famous Disney songwriter who wrote songs for movies like Mary Poppins and It’s a Small World has died.

Richard M. Sherman, who was 95 years old, died after getting sick from getting older, it has been confirmed.

 

He died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills on Saturday. He won nine Oscars.

Sherman wrote many songs, but his brother Robert B. Sherman and he worked together on the Mary Poppins hits “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” “A Spoonful of Sugar,” and “Feed the Birds.”

Along with “It’s a Small World (After All)” and “Chim Chim Cher-ee” from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the pair also made “Chim Chim Cher-ee.”

The brothers won 23 gold and platinum albums, nine Oscars, and two Grammys, showing how talented they were.

Some of the many movies they worked on together as lyricists and composers are Winnie the Pooh, Charlotte’s Web, and The Magic of Lassie.

In 2008, President George W. Bush gave them the National Medal of Arts at the White House.

The documentary “The Boys: The Sherman Brothers’ Story” came out in May 2009 from Disney.

Later that year, the business put out “The Sherman Brothers Songbook,” which had songs from 42 years of their career.

They worked with Disney for ten years starting in the 1960s. Before that, they had written hit pop songs like “Tall Paul” for former Mouseketeer Annette Funicello and “You’re Sixteen,” which Was Later Recorded by Ringo Starr.

They worked at Disney and wrote more than 150 songs.

As they were not playing the piano, they raised their families and did other things they enjoyed. They still lived close to each other in Beverly Hills.

Richard Sherman’s wife Elizabeth and their two children, Gregory and Victoria, will miss him.

Lynda, his daughter from a previous marriage, is also still alive.

The funeral will be private on Friday, and Disney said that details about a service to honor her life would be released later.

2012 saw the death of Robert Sherman.
