From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franz Lambert (born March 11, 1948 Heppenheim, Germany) is a German composer and organist. He is an avid Hammond organ player and has released over 100 albums.
His first notable public appearance was in 1969 in the German TV show Zum Blauen Bock, after which he received his first publishing contract. He has played with several celebrities, including Prince Charles and Helmut Schmidt. One of his works is the FIFA hymn, which was first played at the 1994 football world cup for the first time. This FIFA hymn is almost completely plagiarized, melodically and harmonically, from the ubiquitous Soviet anthem written by Aleksandrov in 1930s.[citation needed]
