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 Johns 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 B. de Bosson. The lead song, Je jure, marched up the hit parades and soared quickly to number one, where it stayed for several weeks. Some years ago, 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 Torah. Success was immediate on the airwaves. Some great performance venues, such as L'Olympia, Le Zenith, Le Palais des Congrs 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. The album Liberty has been recorded in Paris and New York. Two capitals whose cultural richness and musical diversity permeate this new album. Two compilations of timeless creations about love, emotions and live experience have also been released, Si je meurs par hasard (If per Chance I die) and J'y crois encore (I still believe). The beautiful lyrics have been written by Chantal Allon. In United Souls, Robert Lauri offers songs that could be described as new sound. He reveals new musical moods that have a French touch while delivering vibrant classical, pop and rap rhythms. All songs of the album New Face create a special ambiance in a variety of musical genres that span the range from a dreamy and highly imaginative universe, to a universe filled with excitement and emotion. "For the New Face album I wanted to embark upon a musical journey into different cultures, where I could mix and match all the different harmonies, picking out the different influences and blending them together into a single song, on a single album, explains Robert Lauri. A duet has also been released by Diane Marino and Robert Lauri I'm So Afraid : Robert Lauri authored the arrangements. The music is by Robert Lauri and Danielle Bennaim. The beautiful lyrics are by Claudine Marousek-Dornhakl. The Marino-Lauri duet is unquestionably successful: Diane's voice complements Robert's beautifully, and the performance by both artists releases a magical harmony. In the album Western and Country, Robert Lauri takes us into a world where new and current Western and New Age music blend and complement each other in complete harmony. Each track is unique and opens into a trip through different colors and harmonies. Each song, with original arrangements, stirs our emotions and appeals to our imagination. The moods offered in this album are all captivating. The album "Power in Heaven" offers us a set of spellbinding songs that stir our heart and soul as well as sharpen our sensitivity. The album is characterized by the use of musical instruments from around the world. As a result, the music transports us to distant lands and across different cultures, all within a harmonious and unique blend of ethnic musical styles. Oh no, is the first single of a new album in collaboration with Mitch Hiller for the lyrics. Robert and Mitch know each other for a long time and decided to pool their talents and creativity once again. Oh No is the first single released in February. In my Mind the new duet from Diane Marino & Robert Lauri a collaborative work from Paris to Nashville, written by Robert Lauri with lyrics by Mitch Hiller.

Lyrics

Rien a Faire - lyrics by Chantal Allon

Que la vie fut longue a decouvrir 
L’univers penible a parcourir
Mes blessures impossibles a guerir
Mes erreurs toujours a revenir

Comme les rues immenses m’ont semble vides
Comme les joies intenses m’ont semble tristes 
L’histoire de vos livres avait menti
Le bonheur est toujours a venir

J’aurais tant voulu vous parler
Des choix que je n'ai pas oses
Des lois que je n'ai pas suivies
Et tant d'instants ou j'ai failli

Rien a faire 
De mes chemins d'hiver
De ma vie qui s’en va
Comme des morceaux de moi

Rien a faire
De mes chansons d'hier
Qui laissent sous mes pas
Comme des morceaux de toi, de moi

J’ai pleure longtemps ce temps perdu
A compter mes illusions decues
Pour deshabiller mes habitudes
Et faire naitre d’autres certitudes

J’aurais tant voulu vous parler
De ces matins qui ont brille
Comme si une chance m'etait donnee
Et que les vents ont emportes

Rien a faire 
De mes chemins d'hiver
De ma vie qui s’en va
Comme des morceaux de moi la-bas

Rien a faire
De mes chansons d'hier
Qui laissent sous mes pas
Comme des morceaux de toi, de moi

Translation of the lyrics :
Nothing to do about it

That life was long to discover
The painful world to travel
Impossible to heal my wounds
I always returned to my mistakes

As the immense streets have seemed empty
As the intense joy seemed to me sad
The history of your books lied
Happiness is always yet to come

I have wanted so much to talk to you
Choices that I did not dare
Laws that I have not followed
And so many times I have betrayed

Nothing to do 
Of my winter roads
Of my life that goes away
Like pieces of me

Nothing to do
Of my songs of yesterday
That leave under my feet
As pieces of you, of me

I cried for a long time the lost time
To count my disappointed illusions
To undress my habits
 And to born other certainties

I have so much wanted to talk to you
Of those mornings that shone
As if a chance was given to me
And that the winds swept away

Nothing to do
Of my winter roads
Of my life that goes away
Like pieces of me, over there

Nothing to do
Of my songs of yesterday
That leave under my feet
As pieces of you, of me
