RIP: Adam Schlesinger dies of coronavirus complications at 52. “His Oscar nomination in 1997 was for co-writing the theme song for the Tom Hanks-directed film ‘That Thing You Do!,’ one of his first successful forays outside the realm of his own music-making with Fountains of Wayne. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe at that time. Fountains of Wayne, the band he co-founded with Chris Collingwood, earned two Grammy nominations in 2003, for best new artist (many years after the band’s actual recording debut) and for best pop performance by a group for the Top 40 single ‘Stacy’s Mom,’ a cheeky MTV staple that became the band’s biggest hit. His lone Grammy win, though, came for best comedy album for his work on ‘A Stephen Colbert Christmas.’”
