He was best-known for winning the prize for composing the memorable piano theme to the 1970 film Love Story.
Crooner Andy Williams also released (Where Do I Begin?) Love Story in 1971, which was a hit single, peaking at number nine in the US chart.
Lai also wrote the score for the 1966 film A Man and a Woman, with one song later chosen as BBC's Panorama's dramatic theme music.

Wasn’t Love Story based on the man who invented the internet, Al Gore & his relationship with Tipper?

Isn’t that where the saying “Being Democrat means never having to say you’re sorry”?

Schicklsmelodie (fate melody)--Karel Gott (1971)--My favorite version and a big hit in the Federal Republic.
To: Borges
A Man and a Woman--Francis Lai (1966)--a fixture on the playlists of radio stations that featured "easy listening" music in the late '60's and throughout the '70's.
