River Song (Sherman)

"River Song" is a song composed by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman in 1973. It was sung by Charley Pride in the musical motion picture Tom Sawyer. The song score received a Christopher Award and a nomination for an Academy Award. The song's placement as a "bookend" piece to the motion picture was largely due to the Sherman Brothers' deep involvement with the film, including screenwriters as well as songwriters. The song is featured on the popular music LP, The Brady Bunch Phonographic Album which features a total of three Sherman Brothers songs including "River Song."
