 | | The sudden death of Ehud Manor, Israel's leading popular songwriter, at the age of 63, has shocked the country. |
 | | Formerly, songs related to the land and the people, war and heroism; Manor's innovation was to write about individual pain, love or joy, without reference to the national saga. |
 | | Manor's desire to be a popular writer was well expressed in the Eurovision song Abanibi, which, despite its success, upset some of his devotees. |
