Well, author Spencer Wright has crafted 13 chapters in his new book, Voices Behind the Magic, each one chronicling a voice artist's career. Among those featured are Eartha Kitt, Bing Crosby, Ed Wynn, and Angela Lansbury. Spencer focuses on their contributions to the world of Disney, including their most notable vocal roles, as well as the lasting legacies they have had on the company.
