Reflection - Michael Crawford












There is a new book coming out tomorrow that may be of interest to readers of this site. The Disney Song Encyclopedia, by Thomas S. Hischak and Mark A. Robinson, is 349 pages of reference material for anyone interested in the music of Disney. The book covers everything, including classic shorts, animated and live action movies and television as well as tunes from the theme parks!

I have not had the pleasure of reading this book yet, but this review says that it is not as complete as it could be. You can get a sneak peek of the book at Amazon.

For no reason or tie-in to this post, I am sharing with you a cover of Reflection from MICHAEL CRAWFORD'S 2001 album, THE DISNEY ALBUM.

This song is originally sung by a woman, so Crawford changes the lyrics to "Who is this man I see" to avoid any gender awkwardness, but it just ends up sounding silly. Although, leaving it the way it was would sound silly too, so it's a lose/lose situation for any male vocalists who want to sing this song.
