Friends theme songwriter Allee Willis dies

Songwriter Allee Willis, who is best known for composing the theme song of the popular sitcom "Friends", passed away on Tuesday after a cardiac arrest. She was 72.
Animator and producer Prudence Fenton, who is described by a family friend as Willis' "partner and soulmate", is reportedly "in total shock" after the sudden death of her best friend, which occurred just after 6 pm.

Willis entered the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2018 for a catalog that also included hits such as "Neutron dance", "What have I done to deserve this?", "Lead me on" and "Boogie Wonderland", and "You're the best", which is the theme track of "The Karate Kid".

She was working with rapper Big Sean at her home over the past few months.
According to the Times profile, her Songwriters Hall of Fame brief describes Willis as "a queen of kitsch who made the whole world sing". The songwriter was a two-time Grammy winner and was also nominated for a Tony and an Emmy.
