The prolific singer-songwriter recorded more than 500 songs during his 40-year career, including the following from 1971 (co-written with Miki Gavrielov) titled “Ani Ve’Atah”.

You and I we’ll change the world
you and I by then all will follow
Others have said it before me but
doesn’t matter you and I we’ll change the world.You and I we’ll try from the beginning
it will be tough for us, no matter, it’s not too bad!
Others have said it before me but it
doesn’t matter you and I we’ll change the world.
