Marvin Hamlisch, who died today at 68, was a legendary composer — and conductor — who achieved coveted EGOT status (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). He also won a Pulitzer for A Chorus Line. Here’s a recent performance, rich with trademark verve: “Poker Face,” with Idina Menzel.

Hamlisch made his mark in the musical theater world with “A Chorus Line,” which originated at New York’s Public Theater in 1975 before transferring to Broadway, where it ran for nearly 15 years….

In Hollywood, Hamlisch wrote music for the movies The Way We Were, The Spy Who Loved Me and Sophie’s Choice. In recent years, he teamed with director Steven Soderbergh on The Informant! and the upcoming Behind the Candelabra, a biopic of Liberace.
