Main Page of the Unofficial Site on Francis Lai

Welcome to my site devoted to the grand master of 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.
