GUEST BIOGRAPHY

Multi platinum award-winning Songwriter and Recording Artist, David Pomeranz, "talks shop" with some of the greatest Songwriters of all time. 

Hello, and welcome to “SongSessions”.  I’m your host, David Pomeranz and today it’s my great joy and privilege to speak with someone whose songs have given Songwriters and Artists everywhere a true standard of excellence to reach for.  Along with his Songwriting partner and love of his life for 64 years, Marilyn and Alan Bergman have graced the world with some of the most elegant, well-crafted, heartfelt and timeless songs ever created in the history of History - for this or any generation.

Their songs have earned 13 Oscar Nominations and they’ve won 3 Academy Awards for writing Lyrics for, “The Way We Were”. “The Windmills Of Your Mind”, and the gorgeous song score for the film, “Yentl”  - Directed by and Starring, Barbra Streisand. They have written scores of Pop hits like my personal favorites - “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers Anymore” and “How Do You Keep the Music Playing?” and they are inductees into the Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame for a lifetime of stellar achievement.
