BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Adam Schlesinger, an Emmy-
and Grammy-winning musician
and songwriter known for his
work with his band Fountains of
Wayne and on the TV show
“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” died April
1 at a hospital in Poughkeepsie,
N.Y. He was 52.
The cause was complications
from the novel coronavirus, his
lawyer Josh Grier told the Asso-
ciated Press.
Mr. Schlesinger was nominat-
ed for 10 Emmys for writing
comical songs across several
television shows, winning three.
He was also nominated for an
Academy Award for writing the
title song for the 1996 movie
“That Thing You Do!,” written
and directed by To m Hanks. The
snappy pop ditty was the fiction-
al one hit for a Beatles-esque
band called the One-ders, later
changed to the Wonders, on a
label called Playtone, a name
Hanks adopted for his produc-
tion company.
Adam Lyons Schlesinger was
born in New York City on Oct. 31,
1967 , and grew up in Montclair,
N.J., and graduated in 1989 from
Williams College in Massachu-
setts. He formed Fountains of
Wayne, named for a lawn orna-
ment store in Wayne, N.J., in
1995 with a Williams classmate,
Chris Collingwood.
With Mr. Schlesinger playing
bass and singing backup and
Collingwood playing guitar and
singing lead, and the two men
co-writing songs, the band,
known for its sunny harmonies
and synthesis of pop, punk rock
and comedy, would have hits in
1996 with “Radiation Vibe” and
2003 with “Stacy’s Mom.” The
latter was nominated for a Gram-
my.
Fountains of Wayne and Mr.
Schlesinger’s writing embraced
the Jersey suburbs with finely
etched tales of lives like a floor
installer who’s convinced his
crush will come back looking for
him and a commuter who’s sure
about his “Bright Future in
Sales.”
“That’s a real Randy Newman
thing,” Mr. Schlesinger told the
AP in 200 3. “That’s a trademark
of his writing that I was always
amazed by — the sort of unaware
narrator, where you learn more
about him than he does himself
inside of a few verses.”
After Fountains of Wayne’s
main run was done, Mr. Schle-
singer would then drop behind
the scenes and go o n to be known
for his writing.
He won the 2009 Grammy for
best comedy album for co-writ-
ing with David Javerbaum the
songs on “A Colbert Christmas:
The Greatest Gift of All!,” a com-
panion to a TV C hristmas s pecial
with songs performed by Ste-
phen Colbert and Elvis Costello.
In recent years, he was known
along with the show’s s tar Rachel
Bloom as one of the songwriters
behind “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,”
the musical comedy series on t he
CW.
Last year, Mr. Schlesinger,
Bloom and Jack Dolgen won an
Emmy for the show’s song “A nti-
Depressants Are So Not a Big
Deal.”
Working again with Javer-
baum, Mr. Schlesinger won a
2012 Emmy Award for writing
the song “It’s Not Just for Gays
Anymore,” performed by Neil
Patrick Harris to open the To ny
Awards telecast. They wrote an-
other song for Harris that won
them another Emmy the follow-
ing year.
His marriage to Katherine Mi-
chel ended in divorce. According
to the New York T imes, survivors
include his partner, Alexis Mor-
ley; two daughters; his parents;
and a sister.
