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.
Originally planned as a two-part television show titled The Family Band, the project was based on a book by Laura Bower Van Nuys. The memoir by Van Nuys, the youngest of the Bower children, described her family's brass band, their journey out of Missouri, and their frontier life in the Black Hills.
Walt Disney had asked the Sherman Brothers for their help on the project, feeling the story was too flat. The Shermans wrote the song "The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band", which was ultimately used as the title of the motion picture. After hearing the song, Disney decided to add more songs to the film and turn it into a musical. In all, the Sherman Brothers wrote eleven songs for the film, though Robert Sherman reportedly did so under protest, believing the subject matter too mundane to be made into a feature-length musical film.

Try your worst, 'cause I've heard it all And just stuck on a brave face &tried to walk tall And you can tell me that I've changed when you can look me in the eye I've got tricks up my sleeve As I wave goodbye I like to think that I am stronger now than I was before But now I'm having trouble showing you the door And ohhhh I'm on my road I've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand And now I'm here Picking my pieces off the ground We need to get the negativity slack and let the positivity back I need a smile that isn't fake But I'ma need your help for goodness' sake, your help I'm sick of being a drifter, being a floater Go-away-and-get-the-boat-er No one wants you here, why can't you see I was living life through someone else's eyes but now I'm finally back to me I like to think that I am stronger now than I was before But now I'm having trouble showing you the door And ohhhh I'm on my road I've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand And now I'm here Picking my pieces off the ground Picking my pieces off the ground Picking my pieces off The ground you stand on The ground that looks you in the eye The ground you stand on The ground that you will just walk by And ohhhh I'm on my road I've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand And now I'm here
