The Very Best of Francis Lai


Perhaps "Highlights of Francis Lai" would be a better title for this compilation.  There are many other compositions that would rightfully deserve to be included in "The Best of" but this album, as a retrospective that shows Lai's versatile musical genius, is definitively worth owning and listening.
