Shimshon "Shimi" Tavori (Hebrew: שימי תבורי; born February 9, 1953) is an Israeli singer.

He later entered a relationship with Yehudit Bauman, who claims to be the daughter of Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni through a brief holiday romance with her mother.

His son Daniel was a contestant on Kokhav Nolad, and has also performed as a drummer, participating in one of Tavori's singles.

After his service in the Israel Defense Forces, he recorded his first song, Helena, which was coldly received at first but later became a hit.

[6] In 1976, the collaboration with Hitman led to Tavori's first record, Chipasti Shirim La'Tzet La'Olam ("I searched for songs to go out to the world"; Hebrew: חיפשתי שירים לצאת לעולם), including his first hit, Eyn Lee Ahavah ("I have no love"; Hebrew: אין לי אהבה), written by Eliezer Rabin.

After the records release, Tavori was awarded first place in the Middle Eastern Singing Festival (Hebrew: פסטיבל הזמר המזרחי) with his song Shechora Ve'Nava" ("Black & Beautiful").

Collaboration with Medina produced numbers like Shabhi Yerushalayim and Al Tashliheini Le'et Zikna, which became megahits for Tavori and other Mizrahi singers in Israel.
