The Disney Album
This is a love letter to that special pop song genre cultivated in Disney films (and in some cases, musicals). Instead of the chestnuts from Disney's classic canon, Michael Crawford has chosen a program of contemporary Disney creations (except for the vintage "Baby Mine" from Dumbo), but these are destined to become evergreens in their own right. For starters, the magical combination of melody, atmosphere, and gentle lyrics showcases the Disney folks' uncanny ability to patch together sensational creative teams, drawing on such diverse artists as Alan Menken, Elton John, Randy Newman, and Phil Collins. And Crawford's mellow tenor, with its hint of Peter Pan innocence, is well suited to these expressions of joy and love, which include a memorable duet on "If I Never Knew You" (from Pocahontas) with Sherie René Scott. The production is lush and polished, but the length, a mere 40 minutes, is disappointingly skimpy. --Sarah Chin Customer Review: choice of songs
I love Michael Crawford, but didn't like the songs he chose for this. There are much greater ones. I do have a favorite and just bought the individual song "I Will Go Sailing No More" from Toy Story.
Customer Review: Collection of Disney Songs
Classic Disney songs sung by one of my favorite male singers. Michael Crawford adds his own style to everyone's favorite Disney songs. My whole family loves it.
