CARLY SIMON & MARVIN HAMLISCH - "NOBODY DOES IT BETTER", 1989

And nobody sings it better than Carly. Love when Marvin turns and looks slyly at the camera when Carly moves in close!
UPDATE (8-7-2012): I posted this video on June 4, 2012, and he has died on August 6. I'm so glad I got this on YouTube in time for him to possibly see it.
Marvin co-wrote "Nobody Does It Better" for the 1977 James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me" with Carole Bayer Sager, his girlfriend at the time. This video is from the show "Marvin Hamlisch: They're Playing My Song". Wikipedia says that he was one of only eleven people to have been awarded an Emmy(4), a Grammy(4), an Oscar(3), and a Tony. He was also one of only two people to have won those four prizes and also a Pulitzer Prize. He also won 2 (according to Wikipedia) Golden Globes (although Associated Press said 3 today-8/8/12)!
He has left us way too soon. We will miss him very much.

I posted this video of Carly and Marvin on 6-4-12, never expecting him to die two months later (8-6). I feel honored that it has become a tribute of sorts to him. Thank you everyone for your beautiful comments. He was a wonderful person who accomplished many extraordinary things in his life. I would like to offer my deepest heartfelt condolences to his family and friends, as I'm sure everyone who has watched this video or will yet, join me in that. He will be greatly missed. (8-28-12)

TREASURE

Great comment. Thank you.

Wow, that was freakin' awesome! Wow, wow, 100x wow!

[westlinngirl]

I agree with your spot-on appraisal. They are both wonderful. Marvin co-wrote "Nobody Does It Better" for the 1977 James Bond film "The Spy Who Love Me" with then girlfriend Carole Bayer Sager, and he has done a multitude of other things in his terrific career (check it out on Wikipedia).

I'm sitting here with big nervous knots in my stomach cause I have to go get a few cavities drilled tomorrow morning, and this just totally made me forget everything! What a treasure it was to run across this, thank you so very much for saring this. With Carly's music, I feel like I can face anything!

[westlinngirl]

Thank you too for the fun comment. Really happy that Carly helped ease your anxiety about the dentist and hoping it went well. If I find anything else on Carly in my searchings, I will get it up first thing.

As a for Salem girl (hi neighbor) I must thank you for sharing such a uniquely beautiful glimpse into these two lives; what I would have given to be sitting on that sofa listening!
