Best remembered for his Oscar-winning piles to A Man and a Woman and Sexual love Story, composer Francis Lai was born April 26, 1932, in Nice, France. After poring over piano as a child, he later ascertained jazz and during the 1950s followed friend and isaac M. Singer Claude Goaty to Paris, finally settling in Montmartre. At the local Taverne d'Attilio, Lai met Bernard Dimey, with whom he collaborated on well over century songs; a brief stint in Michel Magne's orchestra preceded his tenure as accompanyist for Edith Piaf, for whom Lai as well composed a number of songs as good. He made his film debut in 1964 with the score to Roger Vadim's remake of Max Ophuls' classic La Ronde, and deuce days later composed the music for Jean-Luc Godard's Masculin/Feminin; however, it was his solve on Claude Lelouch's 1966 strike A Man and a Woman which elevated Lai to international fame, and in addition to earning an Academy Award, he toothed a perennial gentle hearing front-runner with the picture's Brazilian-inflected title air. He south Korean won a second Oscar for the 1970 Arthur Hiller blockbuster Love Story, and the film's theme, "Where Do I Begin?," too became a Top 40 arrive at for Andy Williams, Henry Mancini, and even Lai himself. Although the composer ne'er over again reached the same commercial heights, he continued functional regularly in the picture palace, oftentimes in concurrence with director Lelouch, and composed a figure of instrumental favorites, including "Today It's You," "Glad New Year," and "Love in the Rain."
