Please Note: A portion of the proceeds from sale of the Elton John lots, 229–281, will be donated to The Elton John Aids Foundation.
The offered sheet music for the song "Circle of Life" has been signed by Elton John and Tim Rice, who wrote the song together for the 1994 Disney classic The Lion King. It is not too often that a lyric from a children's song becomes part of our vernacular, but "Circle of Life" has certainly achieved that since its debut in the Disney animated feature. The sheet music also unfolds into a large poster with all the main characters from the film and a part of the main lyric, but displaying that side of this piece would obscure the highligh of the two bold signatures of the men who penned the song. The song was nominated for an Academy Award and a Grammy. The sheet music is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Becket Authentic. It measures 9 x 12 inches and presents in Near Mint to Mint condition.
