Jack Sheldon, a veteran jazz musician in Hollywood and one of the most recognizable voices from Schoolhouse Rock! during its run in the 1970s, has died this week at the age of 88.
Sheldon was a veteran jazz musician who also served as musical director of The Merv Griffin Show for close to two decades, but perhaps his most memorable work came as the voice of popular Schoolhouse Rock! songs like “Conjunction Junction” and “I’m Just A Bill.” His death was reported late on Tuesday by Consequence of Sound, which noted that he had passed away of undisclosed causes on December 27. Sheldon’s death was announced by Doug McIntyre, his biographer.
