New York Native, Composing Great Marvin Hamlisch Succumbs to Short Illness
He was one of this country’s most decorated composer. Marvin Hamlisch died suddenly yesterday after a brief illness. No other details are available. Hamlisch was 68.
Hamlisch is one of only a handful of people to win the “Big Four” awards–an Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, and Tony. The air gets even more rarefied when a Pulitzer Prize is included (Richard Rodgers is the other).
Hamlisch, according to wikipedia, grew up in New York City to Viennese Jewish parents.
