 Both spoke at his New York City memorial at the Little Church Around the Corner when Harrison died in 1990.Harrison was not by any objective standards a singer (his "talking on pitch" style he used in "My Fair Lady" would be adopted by many other classically trained actors with limited vocal ranges); the music was usually written to allow for long periods of recitative, or "speaking to the music".Nevertheless, "Talk to the Animals", which Harrison performed in "Doctor Dolittle", won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1967.
