Broadway and pop lyricist Alan Bergman died July 17 at his home in Los Angeles, California, per The New York Times. He was 99 years old.

Born September 11, 1925, Bergman's work was mostly a collaboration with his wife, Marilyn, who died in 2022. The pair were Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy winners, serving as some of the most popular and frequent lyricists in Hollywood for several decades. The two began working together in 1956 and married in 1958, and were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1980.

Though the bulk of their career was spent on film and TV projects, they made their Broadway debut with the lyrics to 1964's Something More!, with music by Sammy Fain. Their sole other Broadway credit was the lyrics to 1978's short-lived Ballroom, written with composer Billy Goldenberg. Directed and choreographed by Michael Bennett and originally starring Dorothy Loudon, the musical would last just 116 performances, but the Bergmans and Goldenberg's score produced "Fifty Percent," which has become a cabaret mainstay. Songs with lyrics by the Bergmans also were featured in 1984's Haarlem Nocturne and 1997's Street Corner Symphony.

Of their film work that has entered the pantheon of the American Songbook, most prominent would be "The Windmills of Your Mind," written with composer Michel Legrand for The Thomas Crown Affair; and "The Way We Were," written with Marvin Hamlisch for the film of the same name. The latter was sung by Barbra Streisand, a longtime friend and collaborator of the Bergmans. That relationship also led to the Bergmans teaming up again with Legrand in 1983 for Streisand's movie-musical Yentl. "The Windmills of Your Mind," "The Way We Were," and Yentl each won the Bergmans Academy Awards.

The couple was also responsible for the song "It Might Be You" from Tootsie, and the theme songs to TV's Maude, Alice, and Good Times, and In the Heat of the Night.

Mr. Bergman was pre-deceased by wife Marilyn in 2022, is survived by daughter Julie Bergman and one granddaughter.
