Author Edgar Rice Burroughs was born on this day waaaay back in 1875. He is most famous for his more than twenty novels starring Tarzan, the Ape-Man. Of course, us Disney fans know far too well the 1999 animated adaptation starring the King of the Apes.
Did you know that after the release of Snow White, Burroughs approached Disney about adapting Tarzan? It would be 60 years before this actually happened.
Today's cover is You'll Be in My Heart by Puerto Rican singer/actor CARLOS PONCE. Ponce is well known in the Spanish-speaking world, having a few number one albums and a Spanish soap opera acting gig. It wasn't until the late 90s that he began to be a recognized face on American television. Among other things, he is the creepy yoga instructor in Couples Retreat and sang the Spanish version of Star-Spangled Banner in Deuce Bigalo: European Gigalo.
Disney fans may also recognize this name as he covered Bella Notte for Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure. Ponce recorded You'll Be in My Heart in 2005 for the compilation album GOLDEN SLUMBERS: A FATHER'S LOVE
which features fathers singing lullabies to their children.

He has a soft voice. I like it! And the Spanish lyrics sound wonderful.
