Who also provided lyrics along with Howard Ashman on his first Disney duo movie with Alan Menken?
Howard Ashman Howard Elliott Ashman (May 17, 1950 – March 14, 1991) was an American playwright and lyricist. He collaborated with Alan Menken on several works and is most widely known for several animated feature films for Disney, for which Ashman wrote the lyrics and Menken composed the music. Ashman and Menken began their collaboration with the musical "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater" (1979), for which Ashman directed and wrote both book and lyrics. Their next musical, "Little Shop of Horrors" (1982) for which Ashman again directed and wrote both book and lyrics, became a long-running success and led to a 1986 feature film. The partnership's first Disney film was "The Little Mermaid" (1989), followed by "Beauty and the Beast" (1991). After his death, some of Ashman's songs were included in another Disney film, "Aladdin" (1992).
Raisins and Almonds "Raisins and Almonds" (Yiddish: ראָזשינקעס מיט מאַנדלען‎ , "Rozhinkes mit Mandlen") is a traditional Jewish lullaby popularized in the arrangement by Abraham Goldfaden (1840-1908) for his 1880 Yiddish musical, "Shulamis". It has become so well known that it has assumed the status of a classic folk song. It has been recorded as both a vocal and instrumental by many artists over the years, including Itzhak Perlman, Chava Alberstein, Benita Valente, and Ella Jenkins. It is a common lullaby among Ashkenazi European Jews (Ashkenazim). This song has multiple translations and multiple versions, which have slight changes in both Yiddish and English lyrics. One verse of the song appears in the Herman Wouk novel "War and Remembrance" in Yiddish as well as an English translation, and also in the TV miniseries based on the book.
