Marni Nixon (Margaret Nixon McEathron)
(February 22, 1930 – July 24, 2016)

NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood voice double Marni Nixon, whose singing
was heard in place of the leading actresses in such classic movie musicals
as "West Side Story,” ”The King and I" and "My Fair Lady," has died.

Michael Kirsten, senior vice president of Nixon’s talent agency, Harden-
Curtis Associates, said she died Sunday of cancer in New York. He said 
"She passed away peacefully with her family at her side. 

Nixon, who was initially unaccredited for her work, early on resented the
dubbing work but later came to terms with it. "I realized now that this was
something that would outlive me. Something that would last," she wrote
in her 2006 memoir, "I Could Have Sung All Night."

The song "You Can’t Hurry Love" by The Supremes was written and
produced by Motown production team Holland–Dozier–Holland. It
topped the Billboard pop singles chart. 

After signing a new recording contract with RCA Victor  Artie Shaw chose
"Begin the Beguine" to be the first of six tunes he would record with his new
14 piece band at this, his first recording session with RCA. The session was
held at RCA’s "Studio 2" on East 24th Street in New York.

Shaw was also an actor and a author who wrote both fiction and non-
fiction. He remained a force in popular music and jazz before retiring
from music completely in 1954.
