Follwing the news of amazing 'The Way We Were' Composer Marvin Hamlisch's passing, Barbra Streisand released this statment.
"I'm devastated. He was my dear friend. He's been in my life ever
since the first day I met him in 1963, when he was my rehearsal pianist
for "Funny Girl." He played at my wedding in 1998... and recently for me
at a benefit for women's heart disease. The world will remember Marvin
for his brilliant musical accomplishments, from "A Chorus Line" to "The
Way We Were," and so many others, but when I think of him now, it was
his brilliantly quick mind, his generosity, and delicious sense of humor
that made him a delight to be around. Just last night, I was trying to
reach him, to tell him how much I loved him, and that I wanted to use an
old song of his, that I had just heard for the first time. He was a
true musical genius, but above all that, he was a beautiful human being.
I will truly miss him."
