EXTRACT OF ROBERT LAURI\'S PRESSBOOK

Full of talent, he walks the tightrope of time with precision and sensitivity.
Ambitious, without being career-minded, he blends his life and work.
Born into a family of musicians and artists, it was almost inevitable that Robert
Lauri would become involved in the arts in some way. As a young boy he learned to
play piano and guitar. Not content with just performing, Robert was soon composing
great melodies to accompany his lyrics. Throughout his career, Robert Lauri has
always been "an original", remaining true to himself and his creative drive,
unfettered by the ebb and flow of fads and fashion.
In 1976, a number of top names worked with him on his first album. Published by Dick
James Music "Elton John's publisher", produced by Mitchel Hiller and Kay Kaplan,
arranged by Robin Miller, this LP was recorded at the Olympic studio in London and
distributed in Britain and Italy. Back in France, Robert Lauri signed with WEA
Filipachi in 1980.
A very fine album came out of his work with JP Bourtayre, B. de Bosson and D.
Rousseau. The lead song, Je jure caracole, marched up the hit parades and soared
quickly to number one, where it stayed for several weeks. Chantal Allon,Claudine
Marousek-Dorhakl, D. Barbelivien, J-P Dreau, E. Rodagyl, other writers also worked
with him on other hits. In 1989, Robert Lauri began a mystical phase and created the
band ALEF.
This was an original concept that consisted of mixing hard-hitting, topical
arrangements with texts from the Bible. One album, distributed by Saravah Music,
personified this spiritual quest. Success was immediate on the airwaves.
Some great performance venues, such as L'Olympia, Le Zénith, Le Palais des Congrès
and others staged their concerts in front of enthusiastic audiences. After winning
over audiences in Europe, ALEF conquered Canada and the United States, where their
gigs included an appearance on the US Telethon.
In parallel to all this, he continued to write music and lyrics for numerous other
bands and individual performers. 1998 saw Robert Lauri return to his first love.
Composing country tunes produced songs touching on sensitive areas in a changing
society at the dawn of a new millennium.
Love often appears, blended with nostalgia - and always with hope! Maturity,
experience and emotion are the key words of these new, timeless creations that are
unconventional and so engaging.
