Izhar Cohen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Izhar Cohen (born March 13, 1951 in Giv'atayim, Israel) is an Israeli singer and actor.
Representing Israel, he won the 1978 Eurovision Song Contest with the group Alphabeta performing "A-Ba-Ni-Bi" with music by Nurit Hirsh and words by Ehud Manor. The title of the song is the Hebrew word "ani" (first person singular pronoun) expressed in the popular children's code "B-language".
Cohen later represented Israel again (this time with an unnamed group of backing singers) at the 1985 contest performing "Ole ole" (music - Kobi Oshrat, words - Hamutal Ben-Ze'ev) where he finished 5th.
Cohen was an actor in the Haifa Theater.
