Topic: Best Recording for Children


  
  Walt Disney Records - History
Recorded by Frank Luther and his orchestra in November 1933, the music was derived from the popular Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphony cartoons, including "In a Silly Symphony," "Dance of the Bogey Man," "Mickey Mouse and Minnie's in Town," and "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?"
In 1940 RCA Victor released an album described as "recorded from the original soundtrack of the Walt Disney Production 'Pinocchio.'" This is the first time the phrase "original soundtrack" was used to refer to a commercially available movie recording.
The record earned platinum sales awards (more than a million units) in the U.S. and Canada, and similar sales were recognized in such far-flung markets as Portugal and Australia.

 Michael Jackson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Jackson Five were signed to Motown Records at the end of 1968; their early releases, including US chart-toppers "I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There", illustrated his remarkable maturity.
When MGM Records launched the Osmonds as rivals to the Jackson Five in 1970, and singled out their lead singer, 13-year-old Donny Osmond, for a solo career, Motown felt duty bound to reply in kind.
It appears that, despite the allegations of child abuse and the constant media attacks, particularly surrounding his unexpected second marriage to Debbie Rowe (which ended in October 1999) and the birth of three children, Jackson's fans are destined to remain loyal to the "King of Pop".

After she received the Grammy for “Best Musical Recording for Children”, the calls started coming in for children and family concerts.
