Bent Fabricius-Bjerre (b. December 7, 1924 - d. 28 July 2020) —better known for many years as Bent Fabric—is a Danish jazz and pop pianist and composer whose long career spanning numerous genres, and spare, lyric piano style, has often been overshadowed by his longtime signature composition and hit, the 1962 instrumental "Alley Cat." This simple, unpretentious, jazz-oriented dance song became an international hit and earned Fabric an American Grammy award in 1963 as well as a best-selling album
