Alan Bergman
Alan Bergman (September 11, 1925 – July 17, 2025) was a renowned American songwriter, best known for his collaboration with his wife, Marilyn Keith Bergman. Born in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Alan was the son of Ruth and Samuel Bergman. He pursued his education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and earned a master’s degree in music at UCLA. Alan's career began in the early 1950s as a television director and songwriter at Philadelphia's WCAU-TV. Encouraged by Johnny Mercer, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue songwriting professionally.

In Los Angeles, Alan met Marilyn, whom he married in 1958. Together, they formed a prolific songwriting duo, creating music and lyrics for numerous celebrated television, film, and stage productions. Their work earned them four Emmys, three Oscars, and two Grammys, including Song of the Year. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Some of their most notable works include the Oscar-winning songs "The Way We Were" and "The Windmills of Your Mind," as well as theme songs for popular TV shows.

Alan and Marilyn were frequent collaborators with artists like Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Barbra Streisand. Alan continued to write songs until his passing at the age of 99 in Los Angeles. The Bergmans' legacy in the music industry remains significant, marked by their timeless contributions to American songwriting.
