Un homme et une femme – no more
mainThe mayor of Nice has announced the death of Francis Lai, who made his breakthrough in 1966 as composer of the Claude Lelouch film A Man and a Woman.
He was 86.
Lai won an Oscar for Love Story in 1970.
He also wrote the theme music for the BBC’s Panorama programme.
“Love Story” theme was a big hit here. I remember recording a cover with Peter Nero @ Columbia 30th St. studios, now long gone.
