Talk:Eyal Golan

Re: HaMelech

Eyal Golan is known as "HaMelech" because he is viewed as the successor of the previous Mizrahi "Melech", Zohar Argov. 130.49.135.32 18:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)Avi

As far as I know Eyal Golan is no football player but a folk singer, hehe. Maybe he played some football, but that's def on amatuer level and not what he's famous for :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.226.244.180 (talk) 09:17, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

origins
i've heard him sing yemeni and moroccan folk songs; what are his ancestral roots? 128.208.35.52 01:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)Mokha

Re: I'm positive he is Yemeni. His voice is remarkably similar to most Yemeni-Mizrahi singers such as Boaz Sharabi & Zohar Argov. If one listens to Golan's early music, It is difficult to tell if the singer is he or Argov.

In doing research for the article on Harel Skaat, I found out Golan has Yemenite ancestry. Golan is discussed in a book on the history of Yemenite Jewish music. Hjquazimoto (talk) 12:58, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I moved them here because I felt they were cluttering the article page. If you feel it belongs there, please discuss before moving it back. Thank you, Yodaat 20:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Great selection that missed the absolute best song by Eyal "הסתכלי אלי" ... In any case, I removed a few broken links.
 * Does WP have an automatic "check and flag/remove" broken links? Worldedixor (talk) 04:41, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep; just stick the page into Checklinks (documentation is here). Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  11:23, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Award in the Knesset
In 2018 Golan was awarded by the head of the "Lobby for Israeli Songs" (member Nava Boker). This was objected by five other of the seven members of that lobby. That award is not a formal award by the Knesset, though the ceremony was in the Knesset. Tzafrir (talk) 05:27, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Statutory rape: less of an issue
That title may be wrong. Here is a short update.

In 2013 most of the talk was about allegations of statutory rape. A recent documentary by Orly Vilnai and Guy Maroz (Hebrew Video, potentially useful search for Hebrew results) reignited the public discussion. Specifically it seems that the main allegations (even those that were investigated by the police) focused mostly in allegations of pimping young groupies of Golan.

Golan sued Vilnai and Maoz in the past (before the documentary was published. They settled out of court, and there seem to be mixed reports of both sides as for the terms of that settlement. Meanwhile it is reported that three of the former groupies are now launching their own civil damages suite against Golan. Tzafrir (talk) 05:56, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
