Marilyn Bergman, the songwriting giant who, with her husband Alan, wrote the lyrics to Oscar-winning songs like Barbra Streisand’s 'The Way We Were' and Michel Legrand’s 'The Windmills of Your Mind,' has died at the age of 93
; Marilyn’s death came just one day after. “My dear, dear, beautiful Marilyn Bergman, to lose you this morning, so close to our brother Sidney is just crushing me. You, along with your beloved Alan, were the epitome of Nadia Boulanger’s belief that ‘an artist can never be more or less than they are as a human being,'” Jones“The secret weapon to your songwriting…the unconditional love in your heart for your family, friends, and community. Your lyrics an extension of your being.
The Bergmans were nominated for the Song of the Year Grammy four times — most recently in 1979 for Neil Diamond’s “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” — and received the Trustees Award from the Recording Academy in 2013. In addition to her lyrics, Marilyn Bergman was a music industry heavyweight who served as the chairman and president of the American Society of Composers, Songwriters, and Performers from 1994 to 2009.No one knew that more than her husband and partner in music, Alan. To those of us who loved the Bergman’s lyrics, Marilyn takes a bit of our hearts and souls with her today.”
