When She Loved Me - Michael Crawford

Last week Brian Ibbot, creator of the awesome cover podcast Coverville, emailed me asking me if I knew of any good covers of Sarah McLaughlin's When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2. I told him I knew of a few and then realized that I haven't posted any of them here!

So tonight, please check out Coverville to find out which version I recommended to Brian, and in the mean time, enjoy this version of When She Loved Me by MICHAEL CRAWFORD from his album of Disney songs called THE DISNEY ALBUM.

I Will Go Sailing No More - Michael Crawford

In 2001, MICHAEL CRAWFORD recorded a tribute album to the music of Disney. He chose to take songs from more modern films, like Mulan and Tarzan, instead of making an album of "Disney standards". If you pick up this album you will hear this number from Toy Story: Buzz Lightyear's theme song, I Will Go Sailing No More.

Michael Crawford is an English actor and singer who started his career in entertainment at a very young age. He landed a role on the British sitcom Some Mother Do 'Ave 'Em but it was after the show ended that Crawford found his real fame. He was cast as the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera.

But after leaving Phantom, Crawford tried a few project that have not taken him anywhere. THE DISNEY ALBUM was the last album of new material that Crawford recorded and it makes me wonder if he recorded I Will Go Sailing No More because he realized that career was fading out and that he wouldn't be able to "sail" like he used to.

Also, today is Randy Newman's 64th birthday! The composer of I Will Go Sailing No More wrote the piece twelve years ago.
