Which popular singer wrote and performed the soundtrack for Disney’s 1999 film Tarzan?
Sting
Elton John
Bryan Adams
Phil Collins
Fact: Phil Collins, former drummer and lead singer of Genesis, wrote and performed the songs for Disney’s Tarzan. The soundtrack included hits like “You’ll Be in My Heart,” which earned both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. While Disney had previously enlisted popular artists—like Elton John, who wrote the songs for The Lion King (1994)—Collins took a more immersive approach by performing most of the songs himself. In doing so, his voice served as a musical narrator, giving Tarzan a distinctive tone and cohesive rhythm.
Correct Answer: Phil Collins
