She first crossed my radar in 1976 when she sang backup vocals in Arik Einstein's "Atur Mizchech". At the time she would have been a fresh veteran of some Army entertainment troupe which no doubt is where the connection would have been made.
She had a few successful records in the late 1980s-1990s but in my world she was more known as a composer, including the song "I don't have any other country", whose relevance has only grown in the past few years.
She announced a few years ago that she had breast cancer but overcame it. Last year she announced that she was suffering from pancreatic cancer; she appeared to have beaten it a few months ago, which is when she had a television interview and resumed her concert appearances, although she was forced to play sitting.
The radio is mainly playing her songs today.
Apart from her musical contributions to our lives, her illness is very important to my family, as my brother in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer seven months ago.
She is/was only 16 months older than me.
