Sonny Anderson - my 327th choice to be named a Disney Legend

Walter Sonny Anderson a musical entertainer for many years at Disneyland, is my 327th pick to be named a Disney Legend. From his obituary on Legacy.com.:


Sonny Anderson, a legend in his own right was with the Walt Disney Company for 39 years. He was Director of Casting and Talent Booking for Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Epcot. Sonny was known in the business for having an uncanny knack in seeing the potential in an up-and-coming entertainer. This incredible perception in foreseeing and discovering great talent has helped him in casting and hiring promising entertainers throughout the years as Director of Talent Booking. He has cast the very best talent throughout the world for almost four decades. One of his favorite sayings was "Music is not something you do, it is something you feel." Sonny Anderson loved what he did and made all those around him love him too.

Anderson wrote musical arrangements for the marching band, booked such talents as the Osmond brothers, her orginaly started at Disneyland as a member of the band.
