Toon Rock: A Whole New World (1992-3)

 In Disney's adaptation of "Aladdin", Broadway star Lea Salonga teamed with Brad Kane to perform "A Whole New World", which the two would perform live at the Oscars in 1993. Disney, instead of having Kane & Salonga's version released as a single, turned to Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle to cover "World", which hit #1 on the Hot 100.


Bryson passed away Tuesday at 75, due to complications following a stroke. Rest in peace.
