Page "Fred Ebb" Paragraph 16

Marvin Hamlisch said of Kander and Ebb, " All I can remember is that working with Fred Ebb was a lot of fun.

You know, John Kander and Fred Ebb wrote as a team.

So, most of the songs that were written when we usually worked with Liza were written by them.

However, when it came to doing arrangements and working on the act and putting things together, I loved working with Fred Ebb.

We had the best time.

He and I were really good friends.

It was just delightful.

He was a very, very smart man.

And he was very funny.

And he was very caustic.

I think he probably wrote for her better than anyone in the world could have written for her.

He just understood her so well.
