With a career that spans almost 50 years, the Shermans have accumulated countless accolades, including two Academy Awards and nine nominations, two Grammy Awards, 23 gold and platinum albums, induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for songs like “Chim Chim Cherree,” “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and “It’s a Small World (After All)” considered the most translated and most-performed song on earth.
