Before answering his musical calling, Robert B. Sherman was a decorated soldier, among the first Allied troops to enter Dachau while the Nazis fled. He was wounded in action forcing him to walk with a cane for the rest of his life.
The Sherman Brothers came by their musical skills honestly. Their father, Al Sherman, was a successful Tin Pan Alley songwriter (You Gotta Be a Football Hero).
Not long after founding the Music World Corporation in 1958, the Sherman Brothers had their first top ten hit with Annette Funicello's recording of Tall Paul. The song caught Uncle Walt's ear, and he eventually brought the brothers on board as staff writers for the Walt Disney Studios.

Sherman needed an aircraft hangar to accommodate the numerous awards and gold and platinum albums he accumulated throughout his illustrious career.
His wife, Joyce, passed away in 2002. Sherman is survived by his brother and four children: Laurie, Jeffrey, Andrea and Robert.
