This epic piece from my childhood was written by Elton and Time Rice for the movie "The Lion King". In the movie, it was performed by Carmen Twillie (the deep female lead vocals) and Lebo M. (opening Zulu vocals) as the film's opening song.
"Circle of Life" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1994, along with two other songs from The Lion King: "Hakuna Matata" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", the latter of which won the award."Circle of Life" was also nominated for a Song of the Year Grammy. The song reached No. 11 in the UK and No. 18 (Hot 100) and No. 2 (AC) in the US and is featured frequently in attractions based on The Lion King, such as Disney theme parks and parades.

The 90's gave us so many classic Disney songs and this is right up there among the best of them. Elton nailed this one.

I'll definitely take this over the other big Elton Lion King song.
This one is well done.

Often heard it on the AC stations in my market alongside "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". Of the two Lion King songs he did, this was better of the two. I do like the passion in this song.
