Alan Bergman, half of a hugely successful songwriting duo with his late wife Marilyn, has died. Variety reports that Bergman passed away at home in Los Angeles on Thursday. No cause of death has been reported, but Bergman was 99 years old. When you make it that long, you don’t really need a reason for leaving.
