Five on Friday Set 134
Posted: Friday, August 10, 2012 by Travis Cody in
Marvin Hamlisch died earlier this week. He was 68.
Four time Emmy winner. Four time Grammy winner. Three time Oscar winner. Tony winner. Two time Golden Globe winner. Pulitzer Prize winner. He and Richard Rodgers are the only two ever to combine the EGOT collection with a Pulitzer.
Naturally, I present a collection of notable music from Mr Hamlisch.

Two great minds division - I did the same thing but with a (for the most part) different set of songs.
