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-Dornhakl, 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.
