Thanks for the link to a great article Roberta. Sad to hear about Mr. Hamelisch, and what a great legacy he left behind. Fascinating to hear that "My Funny Valentine" was the inspiration for "The Way We Were!" RIP...

You are most welcome drewschiltz88 and yes, Mr. Hamelisch has left us some wonderful music. As you say, a great legacy.

This obituary from the NY Times really honors his great work.

R.I.P to one of the few entertainers to win the Oscar. Emmy, Grammy, a Tony and the Pulitzer Prize. Even my collection contains some of his work with Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand and Lesley Gore.
