Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle
Then
Image from Disney movie "Aladdin"
Now.
This feature takes a slight departure from focusing on a solo artist or groups and celebrates the coming of age of the Disney classic, "Aladdin". It's 31 years now. Apart from the positive message it evokes, the theme song is a gem done by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle - what a song!
Bryson has teamed up with several artists to help produce some great hits. His rich tenor pitch is purity and has wooed audiences around the world for decades. When I last checked he is still performing.
A Whole New World
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me,princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up there
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things begin
Hold your breath - it's getting better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back I'm in
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red - letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
(A whole new world)
That's where we'll be
(That's where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me.
Note: Bryson and Belle changed some lyrics in their song (Just a few)
