Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 RIP Marilyn Bergman, songwriter with her husband Alan. They collaborated with John Williams on movies like Fitzwilly, Sabrina, Pete n' Tillie, and also the Boston Pops song "America, The Dream Goes On" https://variety.com/2022/music/news/marilyn-bergman-dead-dies-lyricist-1235149611/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,507 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Also "We're Lookin' Good" (although I've never been able to find the version with the lyrics). Sorry to hear it, but good innings. Alan is still going strong at 96, incidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 FYI, the Bergmans and Williams wrote a four-song act for Frank Sinatra in the late 1970s. All songs were discarded save one, "The Same Hello, The Same Goodbye", which was recorded for the first time only in 2008 by Michael Feinstein and later also by Barbra Streisand. The Bergmans also wrote the original English lyrics for the end title song of Story of a Woman (called "It's Heavy to Say") which were then translated in Italian by lyricist Antonio Amurri.
