Today (13th July) marks the release of the original London cast recording of A Spoonful of Sherman.
Having premiered at the St James Studio, the cabaret revue celebrates 90 years and 3 generations of Sherman family songwriting.
Al Sherman was one of the most sought after songwriters on Tin Pan Alley in the 20s, 30s and 40s, with songs recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, amongst others. Al’s sons, Robert and Richard Sherman, are the most successful song-writing partnership in the history of Hollywood, composing more movie musical songs and acclaimed film scores than any other writing team.
