Danny Ben-Israel (1944 – 11 March 2019) was an Israeli musician of the late 1960s and early 1970s, producing psychedelic progressive rock with socially concerned lyrics in Hebrew.
Ben-Israel was born in Tel Aviv in 1944 and started his musical career while still in the Israeli Defence Forces' Northern Command, alongside future pop stars Gadi Yagil and Koby Oshrat.
He toured Europe in 1968 and settled briefly in Austria to record the LP Happy Birthday, Rock'n'Roll.
The album was harshly criticized by the local media and had little commercial success, but has gained a great reputation amongst collectors, being regarded as a "psychedelic masterpiece".
