I don't have very many covers of Phil Collins' You'll Be in My Heart. In fact I don't have very many covers of any modern Disney songs due to them being new. I know that seems to make sense, but it seems hard to believe that a song that hits #21 on the American Top 40 charts and can still be heard on Adult Contemporary radio all over the world isn't given more attention in the cover world. I mean, if Winnie the Pooh can get dozens of covers why can't You'll Be in My Heart?
For whatever reason, jazz musician STEVE TYRELL decided to include the Tarzan ballad on his 2006 album DISNEY STANDARDS. This song and When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2 are the two newest tracks on the album, both having been featured in movies that came out in 1999. I can accept You'll Be in My Heart being called standard (although if it were a standard wouldn't it be covered more?) but would you really call When She Loved Me a standard? I don't know about that.
As it stands right now, it seems like the only covers of this song are off albums released by Disney Records, the newest one being a cover by Drew Seeley on next month's DISNEYMANIA 6. If any of you know a cover of this song that is not Disney produced, please let me know!
By the way, DAVID KOZ, a well known jazz saxophonist, plays the sax solo and I think he is singing back up vocals as well.

That's definitely odd that a song this good doesn't have too many cover versions. Maybe no one wants to touch it with a ten-foot pole. lol
