Biography[]
Levy was born on June 3, 1947 in Tel Aviv, Israel (at the time the British Mandate of Palestine). He began his career as a singer and music performer in various clubs around Tel Aviv. He also appeared in the musical Hair. During the 1970s, Levy performed in France for a duet known as "Shuki & Aviva". Together with his partner Aviva Paz, he scored a hit single throughout Europe called "Signorina - Concertina" which sold two million copies.
Levy is noted for his prolific career in composing music; he has a total of 14 Gold- and Platinum-certified records and has composed theme tunes for more than 130 TV shows, which makes him the world-record holder in this regard. Levy's best known work is soundtrack compositions for children's television programs of the 1980s, such as Inspector Gadget, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, M.A.S.K., Dinosaucers, Dragon Quest, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Eagle Riders (also known as Battle of the Planets and G-Force) (the third Western adaptation of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman), She-Ra, and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.
Levy and then-partner Haim Saban founded Saban Entertainment, a production company responsible for 1990s-era series. In the 1990s, he became known chiefly for his work on the Power Rangers franchise, Masked Rider, VR Troopers and Big Bad Beetleborgs. The company was later sold to The Walt Disney Company in late 2001. He has written and directed numerous episodes for some of these television shows and movies such as, Eye of Doom (1987), Perfect Victims (1988), and Blind Vision (1991).
Levy was married to television actress Deborah Shelton (former actress of the Dallas series) and was also previously engaged to television actress Sarah Brown of General Hospital fame. He has a son and two daughters from both relationships.
