Aujourd\u2019hui, il aurait eu exactement 94 ans ! N\u00e9 \u00e0 Nice le 26 avril 1932 et mort le 7 novembre 2018 \u00e0 Paris, Francis Lai<\/strong>\u00a0est un compositeur et musicien fran\u00e7ais, mondialement connu pour ses multiples g\u00e9n\u00e9riques et musiques de films. On retiendra notamment son travail sur \u00ab Un homme et une femme \u00bb en 1966, qui lui vaudra d\u2019\u00eatre nomm\u00e9 aux Oscars, ainsi que l\u2019inoubliable bande-son de \u00ab Love story \u00bb pour laquelle il remportera \u00e0 la fois un Oscar et un Golden Globe en 1971.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En plus d\u2019avoir sign\u00e9 les partitions d\u2019une centaine de films, dont nombre de collaborations avec Claude Lelouch et Claude Zidi, il mettra \u00e9galement son talent au service de la chanson, travaillant d\u00e8s 1960 avec Edith Piaf, dont il sera aussi l\u2019accord\u00e9oniste. C\u2019est aussi lui qu\u2019on retrouve derri\u00e8re le succ\u00e8s \u00ab La Bicyclette \u00bb en 1968, interpr\u00e9t\u00e9 par le regrett\u00e9 Yves Montand (1921-1991). Il \u0153uvrera \u00e9galement aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Mireille Mathieu, Isabelle Aubret, Philippe L\u00e9otard, Petula Clark, Nicole Croisille, Dalida et Jacqueline Dulac, ainsi que pour plusieurs chanteuses qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises dont Nicole Martin, Fabienne Thibeault, Ginette Reno et Martine Chevrier. En 2014, il se voit d\u00e9cerner un Prix d\u2019honneur pour l\u2019ensemble de sa carri\u00e8re (\u00ab Lifetime Achievement Award \u00bb) lors de la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie annuelle des World Soundtrack Awards en Belgique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comme on pouvait s\u2019y attendre, le r\u00e9pertoire fourni et brillant de Francis Lai a \u00e9videmment \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9chantillonn\u00e9 par de nombreux artistes \u00e0 travers le monde. Ainsi, la bande originale de \u00ab Love story \u00bb (6.000.000 d\u2019exemplaires vendus dans le monde) sera revisit\u00e9e par le c\u00e9l\u00e8bre groupe de hip hop House Of Pain, qui utilisera son titre \u00ab Snow frolic \u00bb pour accoucher du percutant \u00ab Word is bond \u00bb. Ce sera aussi le cas de \u00ab Search for Jenny \u00bb remani\u00e9 par le rappeur Termanology sur \u00ab Takin you with me \u00bb ou The Alkaholiks sur \u00ab The next level \u00bb, sans oublier le th\u00e8me principal du film, recycl\u00e9 par le rappeur fran\u00e7ais Davodka sur \u00ab Toujours les m\u00eames qui trinquent \u00bb, mais aussi par l\u2019am\u00e9ricain Reks sur \u00ab Soul of black folk \u00bb. Ce m\u00eame morceau embl\u00e9matique connaitra aussi des d\u00e9clinaisons Drum & Bass et Jungle sous la houlette respective de DJ Ss (\u00ab Lighter \u00bb) et Sound Of The Future (\u00ab Lighter \u2013 DJ friendly Mix \u00bb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le titre \u00ab Plus fort que nous \u00bb, extrait de la bande originale de \u00ab Un homme et une femme \u00bb sera \u00e9galement exploit\u00e9 \u00e0 de nombreuses reprises. On se souviendra du duo M.O.P (\u00ab Lifestyles of a ghetto child \u00bb) ou des su\u00e9dois Jay-Jay Johanson et Magnus Fryberg (\u00ab It hurts me so \u00bb). De son c\u00f4t\u00e9, le marseillais Akhenaton mettra \u00e0 profit la musique de deux films de Claude Lelouch, respectivement \u00ab Les uns et les autres \u00bb pour son titre \u00ab New York city transit \u00bb et \u00ab Un homme qui me plait \u00bb qui servira de base \u00e0 un trio aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Pit Bacardi et Yak, intitul\u00e9 \u00ab Sentier lumineux \u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4285,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tax_category_a":[63],"tax_genre":[70,72,67],"class_list":["post-3973","cpt_news","type-cpt_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tax_category_a-patrimoine","tax_genre-chanson","tax_genre-jazz","tax_genre-urban"],"acf":{"block_query_thumbnail_post_image_url":3915},"yoast_head":"\nFrancis Lai \/ Notre playlist exclusive pour le 94\u00e8me anniversaire de sa naissance ! - WhatTheFrance<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pour ses 94 ans, on c\u00e9l\u00e8bre Francis Lai, compositeur made in France des musiques d'\u00ab Un homme et une femme \u00bb et \u00ab Love story \u00bb.
