Lightyear Entertainment

Throughout the years, the enduring music of Elvis Presley has had tremendous appeal to a wide range of music lovers, including children. We picked 11 of Elvis’ most fun and well-known hits, — the song we believe kids would like best — and chose some of the most popular country, rock and children’s artists to have fun with them. Each song is matched with the perfect voice, and backed by a band of all-star musicians. Everyone involved had a great time with it, and we’re certain you will too!

We don’t talk down to children at Lightyear. Children deserve music that’s as good as adults get. A great album for kids should be great, and then adults will be happy to hear it over and over again on those long car rides.

ROSENSHONTZ is Gary Rosen and Bill Shontz, who have been entertaining children of all ages for over 20 years with memorable original songs and a music style that speaks directly to children while entertaining their parents at the same time. All together, Gary and Bill have won 5 Parents’ Choice Awards and 6 Notable Children’s Recording Awards from the American Library Association.

Their catalogue of 6 Rosenshontz albums is a rich mine from which we chose 12 Greatest Hits for this package.

In addition, we included a live version of “Rock ‘n Roll Teddy Bear,” never before released audio, from their latest video The Teddy Bears’ Jamboree, and one song each from Gary’s and Bill’s award-winning solo albums, Tot Rock and Animal Tales, which Billboard called “two of the best children’s albums of the year.”

In how many wonderful ways are we different from each other? What if all the world were to rejoice in each other’s differences? Based on the picture book by Peter Spier, PEOPLE is an animated movie that features 10 original songs by major recording artists and voice talent including James Earl Jones and Hume Cronyn.

We decided to commission a few original songs to illustrate the themes of the project, and asked Jason Miles to supervise and produce. I never dreamed he would come up with 11 of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my 20 years in the music business, or that we’d be able to attract so many wonderful artists to perform them. Jason and I drew upon our contacts — some of the songwriters and artists are people we’ve worked with before, and they immediately grasped what we were trying to accomplish. Jason also asked some of the best musicians on the planet to contribute their talents, and they added their own instrumental passion to the tracks. We wound up with an incredibly strong, coherent, and consistent album, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We don’t talk down to children at Lightyear.
