Part of the Magic

Bambi Moe spent twenty years working at Disney after which she founded and co-owned Courgette Records, a multi-Grammy-nominated independent record label. She also created and hosted a series called Composers on Composing, developed music-centric programming for LA's PBS station KLCS-TV, and has been a part-time faculty member at California Polytechnic University, Pomona, having developed and taught a course curriculum for the music business studies program.

What makes Part of the Magic so marvelous is Bambi's resilient sense of wonder despite working for decades in a decidedly cynical industry. Her candid recollections of some of Hollywood's greatest luminaries are the stuff of legends. Part of the Magic makes you feel as if you are traveling hand-in-hand with your very own Disney heroine bestie-and the adventure is a thrill." -Susan Egan, Broadway and animation actress and producer "The most beautiful thing about Part of the Magic is that it is a labor of love, a testimony of Bambi's passion for her work. In the end, we'll all say that WE were the ones who had the fortunate brush with greatness, the greatness of Bambi Moe." -Heather Headley, Tony and Grammy Award-winning performer "Part of the Magic reveals the lovely, talented people whose collaborations made the music behind some of Disney Studios' great film projects. Bambi Moe reminds readers of the relationships, the research, and the hard work that go into producing successful results. Disney Studios was lucky to have her, and readers are lucky to share in these stories." -Shannon Farnon, the original voice of Wonder Woman "Part of the Magic is a one-of-a-kind self-portrait of a woman whose dedication to bringing talented artists together resulted in game-changing, landmark works that stand the test of time. Never-before-heard insights abound, answering those two most tantalizing insider questions: 'What was it like to create this?' and the ever-compelling, 'What were they like?'" -Greg Ehrbar, entertainment writer, commentator, and coauthor of Mouse Tracks: The Story of Walt Disney Records
