Disney's Princess Christmas Album, in Stores October 11th
This holiday season, bring the magic home with new music from Disney's most popular princesses and their dearest friends! Disney's Princess Christmas Album features all-new and classic holiday songs performed by beloved characters including Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Jasmine. Disney's Princess Christmas Album also includes a special bonus track - the Christmas version of "Beautiful" (inspired by Disney's classic animated feature Cinderella) performed by platinum-selling pianist Jim Brickman and featuring TV star Wayne Brady on vocals. Disney's Princess Christmas Album is set for release on Walt Disney Records on October 11, 2005.
Nine of the fourteen songs were
written or updated by Marty Panzer with music composed by Don Grady. Marty
Panzer's songwriting contributions for artists ranging from Barry Manilow to
Julio Iglesias to Diane Schuur have earned him more than 35 gold and platinum
albums and record sales in excess of 70 million units. Composer Don Grady is
best known for his role as Robbie Douglas on the long-running sitcom My Three
Sons, and in 1957 Grady was hand-picked by Walt Disney as a Mousketeer for the
Mickey Mouse Club. Grady and Panzer have enjoyed a successful collaboration with
contributions to several DVDs from Buena Vista Home Entertainment including The
Magical World of Winnie the Pooh, Disney's Magic English and Alice in
Wonderland: The Masterpiece Edition. The duo also collaborated on Disney's
Princess Tea Party CD, released earlier this year.
