Joan Lui is a soundtrack album by Italian singer Adriano Celentano, released in 1985 on his label Clan. It includes the musical score of the Celentano's film of the same title.

Overview

Celentano performs most of the songs, except for "Sex Without Love", performed by Rita Rusic, and "La prima stella", performed by Claudia Mori.[2] Differently from the relevant film, the album was a commercial success, selling about 500,000 copies.[2] La Repubblica music critic Gino Castaldo paired the album to the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, with Celentano "giving vent to his more moralistic side [...] like a modern-day Savonarola".[3]
