Taking a trip down memory lane… 🎶

60 years since the release of Mary Poppins, Dick van Dyke and legendary composer Richard M. Sherman unite for an impromptu duet 😲

In footage that appears to have been filmed last year, when van Dyke was 98 and Sherman was 94 years old, the two nonagenarians are seen performing music from the film with infectious enthusiasm and musicality.

Dick and friends attempt to recall the lyrics to ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’ and ‘Chim Chim Cher-ee’ as Sherman continues to noodle at the piano, his timeless melodies still comfortably under his fingertips. The composer passed away a few months later.
