Netherlands Single release - I Think of You

French composer Francis Lai is among the most melodic of the composers writing for the screen, and his scores for "A Man and a Woman" and "Love Story" bear this out. Rod McKuen is probably the best-selling most widely read poet in America today. The combination of these two forces is irresistible. "I Think of You" is a pretty song that flows, beautifully and effortlessly, from start to finish.
