That’s right, Marvin Hamlisch was one of only eleven to ever win all four prestigious awards not to mention he also won multiple Golden Globes, as well.
Unfortunately, the composer passed away today at age 68.
Locally, Hamlisch’s name was synonymous with the San Diego Symphony’s Summer Pops, as he was the principal conductor.
Another huge musical loss in 2012, RIP Marvin Hamlisch!
