But he said he worked out a great deal with Disney and those Lion King checks are still coming in 20+ years later.

Word up! Love to see/hear stuff like this...


Most don't know that wasn't JTT singing them songs! I mean, damn, he sounded almost like JTT. I thought that was him for a LOOOOOOONG time, til I found out the truth

 

[Rusty Kuntz]

I think that is pretty commonplace in these animated musicals.

Same reason Lea Salonga and Donny Osmond were the singing voices for Mulan and Li Shang, but the voice actors were Ming Na and B.D. Wong.

This dude should be rich, shyt is crazy... Disney did him dirty...
Everyone knew Johnathan Taylor Thomas white ass can't sing FOH.

 

[Omar Little]

Looks like life hasnt been kind to him since Smart Guy/ATL

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

People used to be like when I told them the dude singing on One Call Away was Simba in Lion King

 

[Apollo Creed]

Breh should have been a poor mans Jamie Foxx at a min. Dude can sing and is a great Comedic actor.

I knew all along it was him because of The Jackson’s: An American Dream movie. It dropped two years before Lion King so the voice was recognizable.

 

[Ol’Otis]

he aged....a lot

 

[Blankthawtz]

this dude was one of the main "black don't crack" representers......the era is over...we all old brehs....
