Thats not an overstatement.Everyone.

Youll have it permanently etched on your memory, readily accessed by the simplest reminiscence with friends.

But heres the thing.

You probably didnt know his name.

Given all the joy he has given us, we think thats a damn shame.

If youve done neither of these, allow us to acquaint you with the John Williams of kids television.

A fair comparison?

Its an impressive list of shows, all with irritatingly catchy themes tunes.

But it doesnt stop there.

T…the list goes on and on.

For an appropriately rousing soundtrack, Levy was the go-to guy.

Spider-Man, X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, Silver Surfer and the Avengers all received the Levy treatment.

There may well be an awesome guitar solo.

But dont let us convince you; let the music do the talking.

So who is he?

Is he even still alive?

Fortunately, not least for him, the answer to that second question is yes.

Now 68 years old, Shuki Levy is much more than a prolific composer.

He is a savvy businessman whose acumen allowed him to dominate the US kids cartoon industry.

He allegedly started playing music aged one and a half alongside his siblings.

His sister played the piano, his brother the violin while he played cymbals by smashing saucepan lids.

Even today, he still cannot read music.

Levy started his professional music career gigging round the clubs circuit of Tel Aviv.

Note Levys magnificent hair.

If this wasnt entered into Eurovision, someone missed a trick; it would have cleaned up.

Far bigger things were on the horizon, thanks to the business he formed with American/Israeli businessman Haim Saban.

When it came to kids cartoons, together they would be unstoppable.

He was bassist of the rock band The Lions Of Judah.

When this brilliantly-named outfit failed to roar, Saban moved to France.

Saban Productions was born.

One such company was DIC, a French outfit that had put down roots in America.

Relationships between DIC and Saban subsequently soured, however, with the former suing the latter.

In 1996 Levy and Saban got into bed with Rupert Murdochs News Corporation, to form Fox Kids Worldwide.

It was only Marvels bankruptcy that put an end to what could have been a highly lucrative collaboration.

Levy and Saban were experts at repurposing Japanese shows for a western audience, and this was no exception.

And its still going.

Levy must be minted.

Levy and Saban parted ways amicably in 2001, just prior to the company being sold to Disney.

So there you have it.

The rise and rise of a musical titan that shows no sign of stopping.

In August 2015 Levy announced he was launching a new multiplatform production company called Wonderfish Media.

Will we will ever see Levy return to the stage?

I was much more comfortable behind the scenes.

Then again, with so many to choose from, he probably couldnt decide.

So go back to YouTube, have another listen and tell us which you think is his best theme.

Although we thinkMysterious Cities Of Goldmay have the edge, we defy you to pick a favorite.

Shuki Levi, thank you for all the memories.
