In 1978 he moved from Hollywood, California to Jerusalem and formed the Megama Duo with Shalom Levine. Yess recorded twelve albums and four children's music videos in all. Yess & Levine's goal in creating Megama was to communicate the beauty and values of Judaism through American-style music. They toured for more than three and a half years. One tour, which consisted of 32 shows in 29 cities, lasted 42 days. "My Zaidy" was Megama's biggest hit. Art Raymond of WEVD radio station in New York, claimed that it was the most requested song he had in eighteen years of broadcasting. (en)
