Yehuda Talit

Yehuda Talit (Hebrew: יהודה טלית‎, born on 2 December 1944) is an Israeli businessman, record producer and talent agent.

Talit was born in Tel Aviv where he studied at Balfour Elementary School and later at the Agricultural High School at Mikve Israel. He first stepped into the business world with the production, promotion and selling of key chains with celebrity portraits imprinted on them, which were very popular during the 60’s.

In 1966 Talit met Haim Saban who was a member of “The Lions” band. Talit offered Saban to sell key chains with The Lions’ portraits, a move which was their first business partnership. The two of them went on and established a company that represented The Lions and other known Israeli performers of that time like Arik Einstein and The Churchills.

In 1977 Talit founded “Talit Productions”. During the 1980s the company produced large concerts and brought international artists to Israel such as Bob Dylan, Tracy Chapman, Dire Straits, Sting, Leonard Cohen, Billy Joel, Boy George, Bryan Adams, Joe Cocker, Julio Iglesias, Duran Duran, David Bowie, The Eurythmics and many others. The company also initiated a line of Opera productions, Musicals, theater shows and sport events. The most prominent of them were The Bolshoy Theater, 42nd Street, Walt Disney’s World on Ice and the Harlem Globetrotters.
