Today's cover is brought to you by MICHAEL CRAWFORD who turns 68 today. Happy birthday! If I Never Knew You is a duet Crawford sang with fellow Broadway star SHERIE RENÉ SCOTT for his 2001 album THE DISNEY ALBUM
Both Crawford and Scott have other Disney connections: Possibly most famous for his role as the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, Michael Crawford has been in the Broadway and film business since the late 50s. Crawford played the role of Cornelius Hackl in the Gene Kelly's 1969 film Hello, Dolly!. You can see him sing and dance in the few clips that are used in WALL*E. (Crawford plays another character named Cornelius in the animated film Once Upon a Forest, which is often mistaken for a Disney movie.)
Sherie René Scott's career has stayed mostly in musical theatre. Some of her credits include Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Rent, Grease, Tommy, and the lead role in Debbie Does Dallas: the Musical! In 2000, she was the star of Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida and she landed the role of Ursula in the 2007 The Little Mermaid Broadway musical.
