Ehud Manor: 1941-2005

As has been the case way to often lately, I've received quite an education on one of the pioneers of Israeli music...only after they've passed away.

I cannot believe the amount of material created by Ehud Manor in his short life. And we're not talking about obscure songs. This is the guy who wrote "A ba ni bi," "Bashana Haba'a," "Ein Li Eretz Acheret," "Chai" and so many of my favorite songs that I've always taken for granted.

Be sure to tune in this Sunday, as we present a tribute to his music. Although an hour is not nearly enough time to do justice to his pretigious career in Israeli music, you'll be impressed.
