Richard Morton Sherman was born in New York City to Russian Jewish immigrants, Rosa (Dancis) and Al Sherman. Together with his older brother Robert, "The Sherman Brothers" eventually followed in their songwriting father's footsteps to form a long-lasting songwriting partnership.
Costume Designer Bill Thomas, whose film credits passed the 200 mark in 1965, created more than 250 lavish costumes for the principal "Millionaire" players alone. More than 3000 complete outfits, valued at $250,000, were required for the entire production.
Plot
The story begins in Autumn of 1916, and follows an Irish immigrant named John Lawless (Tommy Steele) as he applies for a butler position with eccentric Philadelphia millionaire Anthony J. Drexel Biddle (Fred MacMurray). Even though the family is a bit strange, Lawless soon learns that he fits right in. Mr. Biddle takes a liking to him immediately. For the rest of the film, Lawless serves as the narrator/commentator.
The Happiest Millionaire (complete title Count Basie Captures Walt Disney's The Happiest Millionaire) is an album by pianist and bandleader Count Basie and His Orchestra featuring performances of tunes featured in Walt Disney's motion picture The Happiest Millionaire recorded in 1967 and released on the Coliseum label.
Recorded at A & R Recording in New York on October 4, 1967 (tracks 1, 2 & 5), October 5, 1967 (tracks 6, 8 & 10) and October 6, 1967 (tracks 3, 4, 7 & 9)
14 year old Sami Staitman Sings "The Sherman Nonsense Words Medley" Written by the Sherman Brothers, Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. Arranged by Bruce Kimmel. This song was sung at a "An Evening with Richard M. Sherman" at LACC in front of a packed house hosted by Bruce Kimmel. What an honor and a thrill for young Sami! On stage: Richard M.

This is a song that should include nearly every made up word that The Sherman Brothers wrote from different Movies, including Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Happiest Millionaire, The Sword in the Stone and more!

Before we begin, thank you Thank you, oh thank you, thank you, thank you I'm not a bad person, I don't drink and I don't kill I've got no evil habits and I probably never will I don't sing like Elvis Presley, I can't dance like Fred Astaire But there's one thing in my favor, I'm a millionaire (What, that's beautiful) And I got more money than a horse has hairs 'Cause my rich old uncle died and answered all my prayers But having all this money is gonna bring me down If you ain't with me honey to help me spread it around I could get myself a nose job, I could diet for a year But I'll never be Robert Redford 'cause I'm much too fond of beer Please don't misunderstand me, it's not love I'm trying to buy It's just I got all this here money and I'm a pretty ugly guy But I got more money than a horse has hairs 'Cause my rich old uncle died and answered all my prayers But having all this money is gonna bring me down If you ain't with me honey to help me spread it around I don't mind if you love me for my money If you love me for whatever else I've got Except for all this stuff I'm alone in Fort Knox I don't guess I'm doing all that hot But I got more money than a horse has hairs 'Cause my rich old uncle died and answered all my prayers But having all this money is gonna bring me down If you ain't with me honey to help me spread it around Hey you, come here babe, stop crying
