Which duo wrote a song for The Lion King in 1994?

• A. Elton John and Tim Rice
• B. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice
• C. Hans Zimmer and Elton John
• D. Pharrell Williams and Tim Rice

Answer: (A)

Songs in a film often come from a collaboration between someone who writes the music and someone who writes the lyrics. For the 1994 Lion King, Elton John wrote the tunes and Tim Rice wrote the words, giving us the film’s memorable numbers like Circle of Life and Can You Feel the Love Tonight. The instrumental mood and overall soundtrack were created by Hans Zimmer, separate from the songwriters. Andrew Lloyd Webber isn’t part of this film’s songwriting team, though he has partnered with Tim Rice on other projects. Pharrell Williams is linked to later Lion King material, not the original 1994 songs. So the duo behind the 1994 songs is Elton John and Tim Rice.
