Arieh Lieb "Arik" Einstein ((ヘブライ語:אָרִיק אַייִנְשְׁטָייִן), ; 3 January 1939 – 26 November 2013) was an Israeli singer, songwriter, actor, 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.〔http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/west-of-eden/.premium-1.560367〕〔http://www.jpost.com/Arts-and-Culture/Music/Legendary-Israeli-singer-Arik-Einstein-passes-away-at-age-of-74-333129〕〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25118000〕〔http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4458418,00.html〕 An illustrious musical career that has spanned over 50 years saw Einstein recording over 500 songs and releasing, collaborating, and featuring in 34 albums, far more than any other Israeli musician. Through the years collaborated with many well-known Israeli singers and songwriters, including Shalom Hanoch Yoni Rechter, and Shmulik Kraus. Einstein wrote many of his own songs and was a vocalist with The Churchills, Green Onion and The High Windows. ==Biography== Arieh Leib Einstein was born and raised in Tel Aviv. His father, Yaakov, was an actor with the Ohel theater. Einstein was Israel's junior high jump and shot put champion, and also played basketball for Hapoel Tel Aviv B.C. His father urged him to audition for an army entertainment troupe, and he was accepted into the Nahal Brigade troupe. In 1963, Arieh Einstein married Alona Shochat in the hall of Habima Theater (where he was onstage in a production of ''Irma La Douce'').〔Alona was daughter of Aluf-Mishne (Colonel) Gideon Schochat, one of the IAF's first pilots, and granddaughter of Israel and Manya Shochat.〕 After four years of marriage, during which their daughter Shiri was born, the couple divorced. A year later, in 1968, they remarried. Their daughter Yasmin was born in 1971. They divorced again in 1972. Alona Einstein died in 2006 from cancer. Arik Einstein's second wife was Sima Eliyahu, whom he met shortly before filming the movie ''Metzitzim'' in 1972. They had a daughter and a son: Dina and Amir. Despite a successful career of acting and singing, Einstein was the shy type and a homebody. In one of his songs he sang that his greatest pleasure was staying home with a cup of lemon tea and his books, and in this he was sincere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arik Einstein, Israel's Greatest Singer, Dies at 74 )〕 In a candid interview that was shown on TV, he said that performing in front of big crowds was difficult for him (without the help of a few glugs of cognac beforehand). For this reason he ceased to perform public concerts from the year of 1981 and on, despite many attractive offers which in the late 1990s even reached seven figures.〔(shown on the show Erev Tov im Guy Pines Erev Tov im Guy Pines )〕 In 1982 he was hurt in a major car accident. His wife was also hurt, and another friend lost her life. Following the accident Einstein's eyesight, which was already myopic, got worse and he spent less and less time in public. Einstein was also well known for his love of sports and his deep knowledge of sports trivia, for which he jokingly nicknamed himself "world champion in unimportant information". He was an avid fan of Hapoel Tel Aviv sports club, for which he competed in his youth, particularly Hapoel Tel Aviv F.C. and Hapoel Tel Aviv B.C. Several of his songs mention his love for sports in general and the Hapoel Tel Aviv clubs in particular. Fans of Hapoel's basketball team ran a petition for the team's new arena, The Drive in Arena which was inaugurated in 2015, to be named after Einstein - but their request was not granted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arik Einstein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
