Song lyricist Marilyn Bergman has passed at 93. Together with her surviving husband Alan, they cowrote some of the most popular songs on radio, stage, film and TV. A multi Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy winning team, their songs were covered by such stars as Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, and Barbra Streisand, and worked with composers like John Williams, Quincy Jones, Michel Legrand, Marvin Hamlisch, and Dave Grusin.Their pop songs included Nice n Easy and You Don't Bring Me Flowers. TV theme songs included Maude and Good Times.
But it is the film songs that they made their mark. Such classics as The Way We Were, The Windmills of Your Mind, Papa Can You Hear Me?, and How Do You Keep The Music Playing? are forever etched in memory.
