Wonga Philip Harris Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Template:Multiple issuesWonga Phillip "Phil" Harris (June 24, 1904 – August 11, 1995) was an American singer, songwriter, jazz musician, actor, and comedian. He was born to Harry and Dollie Harris. His mother was of Irish descent. Though successful as an orchestra leader, Harris is remembered today for his recordings as a vocalist, his voice work in animation (probably most famous later in his career for his roles as bears, one being Baloo in Disney's The Jungle Book, and as Little John in Disney's Robin Hood). He also voiced Thomas O'Malley in Disney's The Aristocats and probably best known for doing his last role as Patou in the 1991 Don Bluth film Rock-A-Doodle. Harris was also a pioneer in radio situation comedy, first with Jack Benny, and then in a series in which he co-starred with his wife, singer-actress Alice Faye, for eight years. In 1981, he sang, Back Home Again in Indiana before the Indianapolis 500.

#Quote
1[on The Jungle Book (1967)] At first I didn't want to do it. They kept calling and saying, "you know Phil Mr. Disney really wants you for this movie". I'm not really sure what made me say it but I said to the guys there, "do you mind if I do it the way *I* would do it?". They said to give it a shot and I said, "You know you kept messing around in here and you'll get your roof knocked in. I mean, that monkey'll eat you!"
2[on Bing Crosby] He was a tough guy. Make one wrong move, and he'd never speak to you again.
3I can't die until the government finds a safe place to bury my liver.
#Fact
1Originally, he was cast to reprise his role as the voice of Baloo in the 1990 animated TV series TaleSpin (1990). However, after one recording session, it was found that Harris, who was by then 85 years old, had aged to the point where he could no longer do the voice successfully and the role went to veteran voice actor Ed Gilbert instead.
2Twice voiced bears for Walt Disney: Baloo in The Jungle Book (1967) and Little John in Robin Hood (1973). He also voiced the cat Thomas O'Malley in The AristoCats (1970).
3He has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: for radio at 6651 Hollywood Boulevard and for recording at 6508 Hollywood Boulevard.
4During his lifetime, the Phil Harris Golf Classic was held at Date Palm County Club in Cathedral City (near Palm Springs), California.
5His first wife, Marcia Ralston, was always called Mascotte.
6Adopted a son, Phil Harris Jr. with first wife Marcia Ralston. Had two daughters with second wife, Alice Faye: Alice Harris, born May 19, 1942, and Phyllis Harris, born April 22,1944.
7His orchestra's theme song was "Rose Room".
8During World War II, he was a member of the Merchant Marines from December 1942 to March 1943.
9He was an avid golfer and won many amateur golf tournaments. He took over managing the Bing Crosby Golf Tournament after Crosby's death.
10Interred at Forest Lawn Mausoleum, Cathedral City (near Palm Springs), California, with his wife, Alice Faye. His unusual urn is in the shape of a blue ocean wave with three gold dolphins leaping over the top.
11His signature song was "That's What I Like About the South."
