When it re-emerged, only two of those songs remained; “Friend Like Me” and “Arabian Nights”. “Prince Ali” came shortly before Howard’s passing. And, after a brief flirtation with writing the lyrics myself (“You Can Count On Me”) I began a new collaboration with Tim Rice, which resulted in “One Jump Ahead” and “A Whole New World”. With me also having to assume the role of music producer alone, the film of “Aladdin” was a huge growth experience for me.
