My question: Claim: "Marvin Hamlisch composed and conducted music."
Is the claim above correct, and can it be verified by human common sense and without a web search?
Options:
- yes
- no
Please think gradually:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

The sentence is true because there is lots of evidence to prove it. Marvin Hamlisch's occupation is public knowledge.
Thus, the answer is yes.
