Part Of Your World - Little Mermaid Vocalist Samuel E. Wright Dead At 75

 We are so saddened to report the death of the Disney LEGEND Samuel E. Wright, the young Carribean reggae genus behing the voice of Sebastian the Crab in Disney's Academy Award/Oscar(R) winning The Little Mermaid trilogy and franchise, which follows the adventures of Ariel wanting to be on the surface for the first time and the challenges she faced.

Aside from his work Under The Sea, Wright has also contributed to the Disney Sing Along Songs video series which originally ran from 1986-2006, performing the song "Animals Calypso" in the 14th entry Mickey's Fun Songs: Let's Go to the Circus (1994) and performing the series' theme song when it had its final reincarnation between 2003-2006, including DVD rereleases of Sing A Song with Pooh Bear (1999) and The Lion King: Circle of Life (1994)

Wright is considered to be one of the biggest contributors in the Disney family. Unfortunately not everyone and everything cannot last forever. Wright's death unfortunately is no exception.

Thank you Samuel for all your great work you brought to the Disney staff and fandom over the past 32 years. Your Carriean talents were top notch, maun.

We will miss you dearly.
Thank you for what you brought to the world and rest in peace.

RIP Sebastian the Crab
Samuel E. Wright
November 20, 1946-May 24, 2021
