That's a shame. He was a wonderful composer and a very entertaining conductor--he conducted the Pops series for the Baltimore Symphony for a while.

Not a word about this on CNN.com yet. Shameful.



RIP, Greg the DogSitter. You are missed.

What an immensely, immensely talented man. I'm sure Barbra Streisand is beside herself. He was being creative to the end too. Definitely too young.

Quote
Barbra Striesand
“I’m devastated. He was my dear friend. He’s been in my life ever since the first day I met him in 1963, when he was my rehearsal pianist for “Funny Girl.” He played at my wedding in 1998… and recently for me at a benefit for women’s heart disease. The world will remember Marvin for his brilliant musical accomplishments, from “A Chorus Line” to “The Way We Were,” and so many others, but when I think of him now, it was his brilliantly quick mind, his generosity, and delicious sense of humor that made him a delight to be around. Just last night, I was trying to reach him, to tell him how much I loved him, and that I wanted to use an old song of his, that I had just heard for the first time. He was a true musical genius, but above all that, he was a beautiful human being. I will truly miss him.”

He wrote the score to The Way We Were practically overnight - and won an Academy Award for the Title Song.

What Barbara wrote was really nice. I'm sure she was devastated. I bet he was really funny at a party. He said he really wanted to play baseball but wasn't cut out for it.

Yes, it really was nice. He seemed like a cool dude to be around.
