Arik Lavie (Hebrew: אריק לביא, born in 1927, Leipzig, died in 2004, Petah Tikva) was an Israeli actor and Pop-Rock-Folk singer.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
His career started in the military band of the Palmach, in 1945. Since then, he participated in many theater plays and some movies (e.g. Hill 24 Doesn't Answer, Operation Thunderbolt, Rocking Horse, Hole in the Moon), and published a number of solo and non-solo albums (e.g. Le Arava Trio he:קובץ:Arava Trio.JPG). He was occasionally seen on prime time, on the Israeli T.V., when it had only one channel.
Lavie had a very rich voice that allowed his band members to play simple musical roles and spend very little time on rehearsals. Thus, Lavie could give many concerts in the young state of Israel, when it had a small, poor population.
