Disney Song Medley by Alan Menken

[TheMaxxie1999]

AMAZING!

[its4it]

I didn't realize Alan Menkin could sing until I saw this. Thanks very much for showing us another side of his talents.

[isabelpang]

he's got a great vibrato too :D

[TheSmileygirl90]

He wrote the music for Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Aladdin, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Enchanted, Home on the Range and Tangled... Needless to say, he is a legend.

[terryjgee]

Alan Menkin - the person who single-handily saved Disney. You always have been and always will be my hero - thank you for three decades of incredible music.

[nandaclavedelua]

Uhuuuuuuu!!!!! Amazing!!!!

[libbylit]

I can name them all just by the intro. He is my hero and I love him <3

[UkuleleLunaGirl]

:O amazing :')

[Top5harter]

How many other people, in the world today, can sit at a piano and sing eight songs that they have written themself, that are instantly recognisable, and that have captivated, made laugh and made cry, millions of people world wide... Mr. Menken, you are a legend.

[avatarnarutochuck]

@Top5harter Alan Menken's predecessor, Richard Sherman.

[jsy0160]

i'd like a sheet music for this

[gocody8080]

he sounds kind of like rick moranis from little shop of horrors. hmm... i wonder if there's a connection there...

[danjigirl88]

@gocody8080 He and Howard Ashman both worked on Little Shop of Horrors.

[sjac232]

Now that's something to be proud of. He wrote each and every one of these and they're all so different and equally wonderful. I was lost in memory but then I admit, I nearly peed my pants at 4:50.

[elenrobynmegan]

The child inside 8 people has died.

[ROBCULLENLVR]

He is truly an inspiration to me to pursue my dream. His music has given me so much love and passion for music in general... Just the crescendos and the tone of his songs.. All are so beautiful. I cry each time I hear these songs over again because it reminds me of my childhood and how good Disney was and still is to me... Oh I wish I could meet him.. <3

[presencegirl]

One of the greatest musicians of our time!!! Living legend

[SirTimothyMarton]

As a kid I knew many disney movies grew up with them but Little Mermaid I didn't see as much but that song part of your world is the closest song to me :D so relevant to life at least to mine in a manner of speaking

Alan Menken- Dream Giver, Music Maker, terrible singer....

[iheartnickjonas16]

Mr. Alan Menken, you are my hero. You are living my dream and I greatly admire you as a composer. As an aspiring composer, you are one of my greatest inspirations and I find you completely amazing and one of the most talented people ever. I wish I had that much talent and I wish I could write for Disney musicals. You are the main reason disney has remained so close to my heart for the last 17 years. The songs are amazing.

thank you for creating such beautiful songs.

-Drew

[q8HarleyMan]

Mr. Menken,

Nice voice, good music. In one word. Fantastic. Greetz from Holland.

[MsTinkerbelle87]

who cares about his singing he's having fun (we all do it^_^) thanks alan!!!<3

[LucindaTiana]

0:32 scared the mess outta me!!!

[Shanongao]

damn

[SingingGirl1937]

My biggest dream is to work with Alan Menkin. On one song, not an entire movie, or musical (although I would NOT complain, if I were able to!) He inspires me so much, I love all his songs, and Disney has made such an influence on my life, mainly from it's music. "Go the Distance" helped me through one of the hardest times of my life.

Thank you Alan.

[MagicRainbowMonkey]

Love it, Love him, Love everything, but OMG I want his wallpaper! xD

[MarieMeeko]

Alan Menken is the best composer who ever lived.

He is someone who is really able to change the world with his songs,

he changed my why of living life with his songs.

Thank You Alan! :)

[Shanongao]

Alen Menken is as much a part of Disney as Walt Disney himself

[Shanongao]

90's kids FTW!
