I've read that Hans Zimmer is somewhat unusual in the music industry in how readily he will co-credit his work with others. He explained that while he might compose the melody, he will often use vocals like in the Lion King Soundtrack, that without the input of another artist, his tune will lack the core spirit.

This is why for most of the Lion King soundtrack, you will see "Hans Zimmer and Lebo M", and for many other songs that he composed, but another person sang in, he will readily give them co-credit. Another famous example is "Now We Are Free" from Gladiator.
Thumbs up to this man!

I don't think there is a soundtrack he made that I dislike. His works on TLK and Spirit stallion of the cimarron have to be my favourites.

If he makes something, it is hard to dislike it, unless you're one of those Internet trolls that dislike everything.

Listened to King of pride rock recently, now I wanna watch TLK again.

Hans Zimmer is a gift to the world. Everything he produces is just awesome!

^ I agreeeee! I've always enjoyed classical music, but yeah, he is the topz.

Hands down the best soundtrack composer of all time.

TLK is his only Oscar, yet he's been nominated so many times. I don't get it
