In communicating with Mr. Prince about his heartfelt experience documenting the memorial, he informed me, “It was a great honor to stand by to witness and photograph Marvin Hamlisch’s great friend Barbra Streisand sing for him at this very emotional time.”

He also conveyed the tireless efforts of Marvin’s wife, Terre Blair, to honor Marvin’s legacy: “Her deep love for him was always present to open the memorials and tributes. Terre’s trust in me and her vision was critical to this book. I am forever grateful to her.”
