Carly Simon Remembers Marvin Hamlisch

• August 7, 2012

I'm writing only because I've heard that death is real, and here, deep in the night, I recall one of the wonderful things he did for me. I don't want to diminish its nobility by writing something pithy, but damn it, I loved the guy. The sweetness beneath the 'prodigy' and slightly 'goofy' personality.

Once I was working on a song called "I Forget" and it was missing something that I couldn't find that would hoist it 'over', make it mean something more. I called Marvin and like a Doctor who was making a special house call (though at his house, which was much more comfortable for both of us), he heard the song one time, and gave me the chord on his piano that was what I might have heard in my dreams, if only I'd been smart enough.

There was both talent and instinct in Marvin's generosity. I'll love him on and on. Love, Carly
