Terry Gilkyson - my 207th pick to be named a Disney Legend

Singer, composer, and lyricist Terry Gilksyon is my 207th pick to be named a Disney Legend. In the 1960s, he went to work for the Walt Disney Studios, writing music both for movies and the television series The Wonderful World of Disney especially "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh." In 1968, he was nominated for an Academy Award for "The Bare Necessities" from the 1967 animated film The Jungle Book.
His Disney works include:

  • Swiss Family Robinson (1960) Song: "My Heart Was An Island"
  • Savage Sam (1963) Song: "Savage Sam and Me"
  • The Three Lives of Thomasina (1964) Song: "Thomasina"
  • The Moon-Spinners (1964) Song: "The Moon-Spinners"
  • The Jungle Book (1967) Song: "The Bare Necessities," as well as several unused songs composed for the film ("Brothers All," "The Song Of The Seeonee," "Monkey See, Monkey Do," "I Knew I Belonged to Her," "In A Day's Work," and "The Mighty Hunters").
  • The Aristocats (1970) Song: "Thomas O'Malley Cat"
