Jonathan Freeman(I)

He has a fear of birds.

I believe I sang the last song Howard Ashman wrote. In December of 1989, I was hired to voice Jafar and I was rushed into the studio in January of 1990 because Howard was not well. They wanted me to demo a song that Howard and Alan Menken had written called "Humiliate the Boy." I remember being rushed into the studio and it being mysterious - being in a studio somewhere making a demo of the song with David Friedman and Alan Menken and some technicians while Howard was on the phone from the hospital. It's a very strong memory for me. And then I remember trying to work quickly on other music while Howard was still around. It was very clear that Howard and Alan were two of my champions on the original project.
