MARVIN GREW UP RIGHT HERE ON MANHATTAN'S UPPER WEST SIDE AND OH, HOW HE LOVED THIS CITY. HE AUDITIONED AT THE JUILIARD SCHOOL AT THE AGE OF 6. AT THE AUDITION THE PROFESSOR ASKED HIM WOULD HE BE PLAYING MOZART OR CLEMENTI? HE RESPONDED I DON'T KNOW WHO CLRVINGS EM ENTI IS AND I NEVER STUDIED MOZART. HE PROCEEDED TO PLAY THE SONG IN EVERY KEY. AND IN MARVIN'S WORDS THOSE WERE THE KEYS THAT OPENED THE LOCK TO THE ART SCHOOL OF MUSIC. HE WROTE "ROGERS AND HEARTS I'LL TAKE MANHATTAN." AND THROUGH THE MAGIC OF TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE MARVIN'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE OF THE LAST SONG WHEN HE PLAYED THE LAST DUE WET JOSHUA. JOSHUA BELL IS HERE TONIGHT TO PLAY HIS PART. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE AMAZING JOSHUA BELL ON THE VIOLIN AND MARVIN HATCH LITCH ON -- MARVIN HAMLISCH ON THE PIANO.

APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE

>> THOUGH MARVIN STUD YID AT JUILLIARD, HIS REAL LOVE WAS NOT FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC. HE TCHADE TO PLEASE HIS FATHER. HE WANTED TO BE RICHARD ROGERS OR COLE PORTER. BUT YOU TO START SOMEWHERE AND WHERE MARVIN BEGAN WAS WITH A LITTLE SONG LESLIE GORE REPORTED WHEN HE WAS 19 WITH THE LYRICS OF HOWARD LIEBLING SOMETHING LIKE -- SUNSHINE AND LOLLIPOPS, RAINBOWS AND EVERYTHING THAT'S WHAT I FEEL WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER >> OK. ALL RIGHT. YOU GET IDEA. A HIT IT WAS. NUMBER FOUR ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS. AT 19 MARVIN HAD HIS FIRST HIT SONG. AND NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE AMBASSADOR TO THE GREAT AMERICAN SONG BOOK MICHAEL FEINSTEIN.

APPLAUSE

>> THANK YOU. AND GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. IT'S -- IT'S VERY POIGNANT FOR ME TO BE HERE TONIGHT. BECAUSE WHEN MARVIN ASKED ME TO BE IN THIS CONCERT NOBODY KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE HERE. THE LAST TIME I SAW MARVIN WAS WHEN I WORKED WITH HIM LAST JULY IN PASADENA. WE WORKED WITH THE PASADENA POPS. IT WAS A COLE PORTER SHOW AND THAT TURNED TIME-OUT BE MARVIN'S VERY LAST CONCERT. I HAVE TO SAY THAT HE WAS GREAT THAT NIGHT. HE HAD A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR AND HE WAS SPIRITUAL ALMOST ECUMENICAL. CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT A JEW? HE WAS RABBINICAL. IT PROMPTED ME, MARVIN, YOU SHOULD OPEN YOUR OWN SYNAGOGUE. I PRESSED HIM. IF YOU WERE TO HAVE YOUR OWN SYNAGOGUE WOULD BIT ORTHODOX, CONSERVATIVE? MARVIN SAID MY SYNAGOGUE WOULD BE SO REFORMED WE WOULD BE CLOSED ON THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS.

LAUGHTER

WELL, UNDERNEATH THAT SENSE OF HUMOR WAS AS WE KNOW AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN WHO GAVE US SO MUCH INCREDIBLE MUSIC. BUT OF ALL THE SONGS THAT HE PERFORMED, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS ONE IS HIS FAVORITE. BUT HE DID SAY THAT THIS SONG WAS HIS MOST PERSONAL. IF YOU REALLY KNEW ME IF YOU REALLY TRULY KNEW ME MAYBE YOU WOULD SEE THE OTHER SIDE OF ME I SELDOM SEE IF THERE WERE NO MUSIC IF MY MELODIES STOPPED PLAYING WOULD I BE THE KIND OF MAN YOU'D WANT TO SEE TONIGHT DOES THE MAN MAKE THE MUSIC OR THE MUSIC MAKE THIS MAN AND AM I EVERYTHING I TRY SO HARD TO BE IF YOU REALLY KNEW ME IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND MAYBE YOU WOULD FIND ME THE PART I LEFT BEHIND ME MAYBE YOU'D REMIND ME OF WHO I AM DOES THE MAN MAKE THE MUSIC OR DOES THE MUSIC MAKE THIS MAN AND I AM EVERYTHING I TRY SO HARD TO BE IF YOU REALLY KNEW ME IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND MAYBE YOU WOULD FIND ME THE PART I LEFT BEHIND ME MAYBE YOU'D REMIND ME OF WHO I AM OF WHO I AM

>> THOUGH MARVIN'S FATHER DREAMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE A CAREER IN CLASSICAL MUSIC, MARVIN'S DREAM WAS TO WRITE FOR THE THEATER. AND HE WROTE ONE OF THE GREATEST MUSICALS OF ALL TIME. HE WAS TWOUVEN MOST GENEROUS MEN IN SHOW BUSINESS, ALWAYS THERE TO HELP OUT A FRIEND OR DONATE HIS SERVICES FOR A BENEFIT. HE WAS KIND. HE WAS SMART AND REALLY FUNNY. MARVIN'S INFECTIOUS JOY AND LOVE FOR PEOPLE AND LIFE IS EVERYWHERE IN HIS MUSIC. AND THE WORLD KNEW AND LOVED HIS WORK. IS IT ANY WONDER THAT HE WAS DUBBED AS THE PEOPLE'S COMPOSER. WE MISS HIM VERY MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS NEW YEAR'S EVE CELEBRATION OF MARVIN HAMLISCH AND ON BEHALF OF "LIVE FROM THE LINCOLN CENTER" AND EVERYONE HERE AT THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC, WE'D LIKE TO WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.
