Remebering Our Friend

The American Friends of Rabin Medical Center (AFRMC) organization mourns the passing of our friend and supporter Marvin Hamlisch, world-renowned composer, conductor, and performer.

Mr. Hamlisch, a distinguished contemporary music figure, was well known for his musical compositions of such shows as A Chorus Line, They're Playing Our Song, The Goodbye Girl, Sweet Smell of Success, and numerous other productions. Hamlisch has been awarded for his groundbreaking work, including three Academy Awards, four Emmy Awards, four Grammy Awards, a Tony Award, three Golden Globe awards, and a Pulitzer Prize.
