Inspiration and background
Researched recording background
The Lion King soundtrack includes both the film performance by Joseph Williams and Sally Dworsky and Elton's own recording. Elton and Tim Rice wrote the song; Chris Thomas produced Elton's tracks. These performances share the composition but remain distinct recordings.
Evidence scope: Soundtrack credits distinguish the film cast performance from Elton's own track and identify writing/production roles.
