"Wings" Michel Colombier - Import - Germany

Description: Michel Colombier: Profile: French composer for film music, born 23 May 1939 in Lyon, France and died 14 November 2004 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Generally regarded as one of the most innovative record arrangers of the 1960s in France for the likes of Charles Aznavour and Jeanne Moreau. Later, he was signed by Herb Alpert’s A&M Records and started a new career in Los Angeles, CA. Worked with Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, The Beach Boys, and others. Moreover, he wrote over one-hundred film scores and twenty ballets. Colombier wrote the scores of several motion pictures and TV productions. He also wrote chamber music and ballets. With composer Pierre Henry he wrote music for Messe pour le temps présent, a piece created by choreographer Maurice Béjart in 1967. He released an album on A&M Records, "Wings", in 1971, which included a collaboration with Lani Hall on lead vocal, his song "We Could Be Flying", with lyrics by Paul Williams. Recorded in Paris, with Colombier on piano, it was also included on the album "Sun Down Lady", Lani Halls' first solo album after her years as lead singer for Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66, released in 1972 on A&M Records. The music for which Colombier was perhaps most famous was the piece Emmanuel, named after and written in memory of his young son, who died in his infancy. It was used by the French television channel Antenne 2 (now known as France 2), alongside an 80-second animation known as Les Hommes Volants (The Flying Men), by Jean-Michel Folon, as part of its sign-on and sign-off sequences between 1975 and 1983 in addition to the cover of the 1977 release of his album Wings. Colombier's death from cancer came shortly after midnight on November 14, 2004. He left behind a widow, Dana Colombier, with whom he fathered two children. He is interred in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, Los Angeles, CA.
