was an Israeli singer, actor, comedian and screenwriter. He was a pioneer of Israeli rock music and was named "the voice of Israel". Through both high public and critical acclamation, Einstein is regarded as the greatest, most popular, and the most influential Israeli artist of all time
03/01/1939 - 26/11/2013
In 1959, after his release from the IDF, Einstein joined the Green Onion band and the Sambation theatre. In 1960, he released his first solo album. He sang in a band under the pseudonym "Ari Goren."
In the Yarkon Bridge Trio, he performed with Yehoram Gaon, Benny Amdursky and later Israel Gurion. In 1964, he played in the comedy film Sallah Shabbati, along with Chaim Topol, who was also from the Green Onion band.
In 1966, Einstein released the album Shar Bishvilekh (Singing for You), and joined The High Windows, where he performed pop songs.
In 1968, Einstein released his album Mazal Gdi (Capricorn), which was not very successful. He therefore looked for a new tune, and went on to produce the album Puzi with the Churchills, considered the first Israeli rock album.
Einstein was part of the early 1970s TV series Lool (Chicken Coop), a sketch and song show with an original format and a creative cast. The show had an off-the-wall sense of humor not unlike Monty Python's Flying Circus. However, it also featured songs written by some of the most prominent poets, and performed by some of the best singers Israel has ever produced. In spite of the fact that it had only four parts, it remains a cult-show to this day. The show, as well as movies such as Shablool (Snail), showcased Einstein both as a first line singer and comedian.
