Marvin Hamlisch dies

An American musical icon, Marvin Hamlisch, has died.

You've heard dozens of his songs -- like "The Way We Were" and "Nobody Does It Better" -- and no doubt seen at least a few of the many musicals and movies whose music he composed -- The Sting, A Chorus Line, etc. And he was a pops conductor extraordinaire including, at his death, with the Dallas Symphony.

Here is what Scott Cantrell wrote about Mr. Hamlisch today for The Dallas Morning News.
