Yesterday I stopped by the El Capitan Theater, where Alan Menken was receiving a star on the Walk of Fame. Alan composed songs and scores for The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Beauty and The Beast, all the great songs that are associated with the resurgence of fabulous Disney songs in the past 20 years "A Whole New World", "Under The Sea", "Be our Guest", "The Colors of The Wind".Presenting the award was Richard Sherman, who wrote all the songs in Mary Poppins.
At the ceremony (the people I recognized) were Richard Kraft of the Film Composer Agency,
Kraft-Engel, Dan Foliart & Laura Dunn of the Society of Composers and Lyricists, Ray Costa of the Public Relations firm Costa Communications. Also Actress Mandy Moore, the voice of Rapunzel was there.
