Even if you've never heard the name Yoram Taharlev, you've definitely heard many of the songs for which he's responsible. Taharlev was a master lyricist, who wrote at least 1,000 Israeli songs throughout his life. Yoram Taharlev passed away on January 6, 2022 at age 83, and we take time this week to marvel at the beloved songs he created, many of which we've been singing for years.

It was the year Atari was born, Elvis died, and 'Star Wars' first brought us to 'a galaxy far, far away.' But this week in 1977, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt arrived in Israel for the very first time, ushering in an era of peace between the two countries which is still in force today. In honor of that momentous occasion in Israeli history, we set our Israeli Music Time Machine back to 1977 to look back at the most popular songs of the year. Assuming you were around back then, what are your memories of '77? (Original Air Date: November 21, 2021)
