Leslie Bricusse (born 29 January 1931) is an English composer, lyricist, and playwright, most prominently working in musicals and also film theme songs.
Let’s All Sing With the Chipmunks is the debut album of Alvin and the Chipmunks.
 It is an interactive children's novelty album.
 The songs on the record are a mixture between cover versions of children's songs in the public domain and customized original musical material.
 It contains the A-sides of the Chipmunks' first three singles: "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)", "Alvin's Harmonica" and "Ragtime Cowboy Joe".
 The artist credit on the original release was listed as David Seville and the Chipmunks (changed to "Alvin, Simon and Theodore with David Seville" on the revised 1961 cover).
 First pressings of the album were on red vinyl.
 Despite the album's success, it was one of four original Chipmunks albums not included in a 1987-1990 CD reissue program (the others were "The Chipmunk Songbook", "The Chipmunks See Doctor Dolittle", and "The Chipmunks Go To The Movies").
 (However, every track from the album has been available at one time or another on various compilation CDs.)
 On April 8, 2008, "Let's All Sing with the Chipmunks" finally was reissued on compact disc (Capitol 509992 08853 28).
Giannis Papaioannou (Greek: Γιάννης Παπαϊωάννου ; January 18, 1913 – August 3, 1972) was a famous Greek musician and composer born in Kios, Ottoman Empire (now Gemlik, Turkey).
 In English his name is sometimes romanized as "Yannis, Ioannis" or "Yiannis".
 Most active in the 1940s, he wrote many songs, some of which are today considered classics of the rebetiko folk music style.
 These include: "Pente Ellines Ston Adi", "Kapetan Andreas Zeppo", "Modistroula", "Prin To Charama Monachos", and "Fovamai Mi Se Chaso".
 His style retains much of the musical quality of the classical rebetika of the likes of Markos Vamvakaris, although the thematic content of the lyrics tends not to focus as much on the typically dark topics – drugs, death and prison – of earlier rebetika.
Arthur P. Jacobs (March 7, 1922 – June 27, 1973) was a press agent turned film producer responsible for such films in the 1960s and 1970s as the "Planet of the Apes" series, "Doctor Dolittle", "Goodbye, Mr. Chips", "Play It Again, Sam" and "Tom Sawyer" through his company APJAC Productions.
Up, Up And Away is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in the fall of 1967 and was the first LP he recorded upon returning to his first record label, Columbia Records, where he then stayed for several decades after having just completed a four-year sojourn with Mercury Records.
 The title track starts the album on the contemporary end of the spectrum of material covered here, but Mathis also includes a standard from the 1940s ("The More I See You"), a hit that charted twice for the same artist in the 1950s ("Morning Side of the Mountain"), a trio of songs from "Doctor Dolittle" ("At the Crossroads", "When I Look in Your Eyes", and "Where Are the Words"), and two songs that had lyrics added after originating as instrumentals: "Drifting" began as part of the score to the 1958 film "Auntie Mame", and "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" was "a theme song of Cornell University before saxophonist Dave Pell retooled it and Sammy Cahn adapted the delightful fairytale-like lyrics."
Doctor Dolittle is a 1967 American musical film directed by Richard Fleischer and starring Rex Harrison, Samantha Eggar, Anthony Newley and Richard Attenborough.
 It was adapted by Leslie Bricusse from the novel series by Hugh Lofting.
 It primarily fuses three of the books "The Story of Doctor Dolittle", "The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle", and "Doctor Dolittle's Circus".

Sammy Davis Jr.
 Sings the Complete 'Dr. Dolittle' is a 1967 studio album by Sammy Davis Jr., of songs from the 1967 musical "Doctor Dolittle".
Jonas Baes is a Philippine composer born in Los Baños, Laguna in 1961.
 He enrolled in the University of the Philippines' College of Music in 1977 as a student of Ramon P. Santos, and encountered the musical compositions of Jose Maceda, attended several seminar-workshops of visiting lecturers, and did research on the music of the Iraya-Mangyan people of Mindoro, which became the inspiration for his compositions.
 From 1992-1994, he studied with Mathias Spahlinger in Freiburg, Germany.
 Baes is known for writing music utilizing "unorthodox" musical instruments like bean-pod rattles, leaves, iron-nail chimes, as well as various Asian instruments such as bamboo scrapers, bamboo flutes, and vocal music using Asian vocal techniques.
 His early works in the 1980s were influenced by Maceda in the use of large numbers of performers, while in the 1990s he experimented with various methods by which the audience becomes integral in the performance.
 At the beginning of the new century, Baes experiments with notions of structure-agency integration [after Anthony Giddens] and simulacrum [after Jean Baudrillard].
 It is typical for social theory to influence the work of Baes who has made a mark on contemporary music and cultural politics in the Asian region.
 Jonas Baes is also active as an ethnomusicologist and writer.
Doctor Dolittle is a stage musical with book, music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, based on the 1967 movie of the same name and the children's stories by Hugh Lofting about the adventures of a doctor who learns to speak the language of various animals and treats them as patients.
 The musical features the same songs as the film (which starred Rex Harrison, Samantha Eggar, Anthony Newley and Richard Attenborough), including the Academy Award-winning "Talk To The Animals".
