In Memory of Suki Lahav

Suki Lahav, the Israeli-born musician, lyricist, and poet who briefly joined the E Street Band in the mid-1970s, has passed away at the age of 74. A violinist on Born to Run—most notably heard on “Jungleland”—she contributed to the early sound of Bruce Springsteen’s breakthrough era. Lahav went on to become a major figure in Israeli music and literature, leaving behind a lasting legacy as both a songwriter and poet.
