中文名：马文·哈姆利施 外文名：Marvin Hamlisch 原名：Marvin Frederick Hamlisch 国籍：美国 出生地：纽约市 生日：2012年8月6日 简介：Marvin Frederick Hamlisch (June 2, 1944 – August 6, 2012) was an American composer and conductor. He is one of a handful of people to win Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards, a feat dubbed the "EGOT". He and composer Richard Rodgers are the only people to have won those prizes and a Pulitzer Prize ("PEGOT"). 从艺历程：First emerging in the mid-'70s, Marvin Hamlisch was one of the top composers in film, theater, and popular music. As holder of numerous gold record awards for his soundtrack and cast recordings, and the composer of some of the most well-known songs ever cut by and , among many others, he was among the few "stars" in the world of popular music, composition, and songwriting to achieve major public recognition after the emergence of rock music in the '60s. Born in New York in 1944, Marvin Hamlisch grew up on Manhattan's Upper West Side. His father was an accordionist and bandleader specializing in dance music and Hamlisch showed a fascination with music at an early age. At age five, Hamlisch was mimicking the music he heard on the radio on the piano, and he began lessons a year later. At age seven, he auditioned for the Juilliard School of Music by transcribing the then-current hit "Goodnight Irene" into different keys spontaneously, on demand from the panel judging him. He was accepted, becoming the youngest student in Juilliard's history; he later graduated from Queens College in New York. In his teens, Hamlisch's performing talent seemed to beckon a career in the concert hall, but he proved psychologically unsuited to being a concert pianist, owing to terrible anxiety that proved difficult to overcome as a boy. He turned instead to composition, an activity that he had always pursued privately. While still at Juilliard, he worked as a music counselor at an upstate camp, where some of his songs were performed; one of the songs he originally wrote for a show at the camp, "Travelin' Man," was recorded by on her debut album. However, Hamlisch's first hit came when he was 21 years old, from , in the form of "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows," which rode the charts for 11 weeks in 1965, peaking at number 13. (The song, in 's version, later figured prominently in a Simpsons episode parodying the film Thelma & Louise when the police chief puts some chase music on in his cruiser). helped Hamlisch land a spot as the arranger on the Broadway productions of Funny Girl and Fade In -- Fade Out, and it was in that capacity that he first made his way in the theater world. On Henry, Sweet Henry and later on Golden Rainbow, he arranged the dance music, while he also served as the rehearsal pianist for The Bell Telephone Hour on television. Hamlisch broke into the movie business as a result of a party he attended where he overheard producer Sam Speigel saying that he needed music for a film adaptation of John Cheever's story The Swimmer. Hamlisch went to work on his own and presented the producer with a main theme and was engaged to do the score for the movie. He subsequently entered the orbit of during the latter's early days in cinema, writing the music for 's debut film, Take the Money and Run (1969), and his second movie, Bananas (1971). Hamlisch's other early film music efforts involved such movies as The April Fools, Save the Tiger, Move, Kotch, and Fat City, films that were more interesting to the critics than to the public, in terms of their impact -- his song from Kotch, "Life Is What You Make It," was also nominated for an Academy Award in 1971. He would have to wait a few years to become known by the public for his film music, but Hamlisch remained active in theater, writing the incidental music and dance arrangements for the musical comedy Minnie's Boys, a feature based on the early careers of . His connection with became much closer when Hamlisch was chosen by to be his pianist and straight man (sort of the successor to George Fenneman) in his stage act, which he brought to night clubs and college campuses. The mid-'70s would prove to be Hamlisch's heyday as a composer and a major force in popular culture. In 1973, Hamlisch was engaged to score The Way We Were, a high-profile romantic drama starring and Robert Redford. initially balked at using Hamlisch's title song (authored with lyricists and ); it became one of the singer's biggest chart hits, her first million-selling single, and one of her most recognizable songs. Not only did the song win the Oscar, but so did Hamlisch's entire score. Having generated one of the biggest movie-related pop hits of the first half of the decade, Hamlisch pulled off an even more prodigious feat the next year with his score for The Sting. Built on the music of , the music from The Sting helped spearhead a whole revival of interest in 's work, which resulted not only in a hit album for Hamlisch (The Entertainer) but huge sales for rival recordings of 's music by figures such as , among others. Hamlisch also won his second Oscar for The Sting. Hamlisch also ventured into composing music for television in 1975 with his theme music for two series that illustrated the range of the medium's vision at the time: Beacon Hill, a highly derivative series inspired by the success of the British class system drama Upstairs, Downstairs, and The Hot L Baltimore, an envelope-ripping sitcom (adapted from a play) about life at a seedy hotel populated by characters who, at the time, would have come from the wrong sides of most viewers' tracks. Neither lasted, but Hamlisch made a more significant contribution to the small screen in 1976 when he wrote the music for the NBC adaptation of John Osborne's The Entertainer, starring . That same year, Hamlisch scored perhaps the biggest hit of his career with A Chorus Line, his very first attempt at writing a Broadway musical, co-authored with lyricist Edward Kleban. Opening on Broadway in May of 1975, it became the most successful musical of the decade, winning multiple awards in the bargain and running well into the '90s. One of the score's songs, "What I Did for Love," has been recorded hundreds of times by artists including , , , and . Hamlisch chose that point in his career to try and revive his performing career with a cabaret act that played well throughout the country and as a pianist in appearances with some of the country's major orchestras. In between his performing career and his writing for the stage and screen, Hamlisch managed to work in appearances on albums by such diverse figures as , , and , among many others. Hamlisch scored another hit as a composer, albeit not of the dimensions of A Chorus Line, with They're Playing Our Song. Co-written with his wife, , it was a semi-autobiographical musical about a married songwriting team, which yielded a hit cast album as well. The couple also won an Oscar nomination for the song "Nobody Does It Better," written for the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and a Top Five hit single for vocalist . The early '80s saw Hamlisch as busy as ever, writing the music to the Neil Simon comedies Chapter Two, Seems Like Old Times, and I Ought to Be in Pictures, and the score for the dramatic period musical film Pennies from Heaven, as well as playing on his wife's albums. His music for the films Sophie's Choice, Ice Castles ("Through the Eyes of Love"), Same Time Next Year ("The Last Time I Felt Like This"), and Shirley Valentine ("The Girl Who Used to Be Me") was also nominated for Academy Awards. Hamlisch was somewhat less visible as a composer in terms of new work after the early '80s, but was a producer and arranger for recordings by and , , and in the '90s, among others. He continued to work with musical productions and as a conductor of many U.S. symphony orchestras until his death on August 6, 2012, a week before he was to be named Principal Pops Conductor of . 荣誉记录：1972 提名 最佳歌曲 - "Life Is What You Make It" 电影 Kotch1973 获奖 最佳原创音乐奖 - The Way We Were1973 获奖 最佳原创音乐奖 - The Sting1973 获奖 最佳歌曲 - The Way We Were1973年他成为继1960年Billy Wilder之后又一位同一晚上获得三项奥斯卡奖的人1977 提名 最佳歌曲 - "Nobody Does It Better" 电影 The Spy Who Loved Me1977 提名 最佳原创音乐奖 - The Spy Who Loved Me1979 提名 最佳歌曲 - "The Last Time I Felt Like This" 电影 Same Time Next Year1980 提名 最佳歌曲 - "Through The Eyes of Love" 电影 Ice Castles1983 提名 最佳原创音乐奖 - Sophie's Choice1986 提名 最佳歌曲 - "Surprise Surprise" 电影 A Chorus Line1990 提名 最佳歌曲 - "The Girl Who Used To Be Me" 电影 Shirley Valentine1997 提名 最佳歌曲 - "I Finally Found Someone" 电影 The Mirror Has Two Faces
