Musical Career
Argov's debut album Eleanor (1981) featured the title track, "Sod HaMazalot" ("The Zodiac Secret"), and "Mah Lakh, Yaldah?" ("What's With You, Girl?"), a tribute to his ex-wife, Bracha, who remained the love of his life.
While Argov's career was dotted with creative and personal lapses caused by his heroin and crack cocaine addictions, which eventually led to his death at the age of 32. his musical achievements overshadowed his personal problems. His ability to sing heartbreaking versions of his songs in live performances, even under the influence of drugs, allowed a blind eye to be turned to his addictive rampages, which ended up destroying his personal relationships.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or career:
“There was something refreshingly and wildly musical to my ears in the very name of the white man’s canoe, reminding me of Charlevoix and Canadian Voyageurs. The batteau is a sort of mongrel between the canoe and the boat, a fur-trader’s boat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
