Welcome

melodies Francis Lai.
For a visual discography with covers and
track listings, and in few of them,
lyrics, select the Soundtracks.
For other Lai recordings, check the Non
Soundtracks
and the Compilations
sections.
There are some Lyrics
from information of booklets, songbooks and a few that
I have transcribed too. Also included are Cover
Versions of other
artists. We also have a Fan's
Experiences, Polls,
and even a link to a Book
for Francis Lai recordings.
New sections: Collaborators
that have contributed to enhance the melodies of the
Maestro and Songbooks and Music Sheets.
