Marvin Hamlisch passed away yesterday at the age of 68 after a brief illness according to TheWrap. Marvin Hamlisch was a singular sensation who composed some of the biggest movie scores of our generation. He also wrote music for Broadway and television and because of that he just one of 11 people who has won an Oscar(3), an Emmy(4), a Grammy(4) and a Tony. He is also only one of 5 people who can also add a Golden Globe along with the 4 biggies to their resume. And finally he is one of only two people who can include those 5 statuettes with a Pulitzer as life’s accomplishments. So today honor a man who made our days brighter with his music from Ragtime, The Sting and A Chorus Line to name a just a very few of his great works, and listen to his soundtrack of our lives.
