Short bio Eden Ahbez
Full biography Eden Ahbez
Eden Ahbez was an American songwriter and musician, known for his unique and unconventional musical style and lifestyle. Born George Alexander Aberle on April 15, 1908, in Brooklyn, New York, Ahbez was the son of a Jewish father and a Scottish-English mother. He grew up in poverty and had a difficult childhood, but his passion for music remained with him throughout his life.
Ahbez was a self-taught musician and composer and had a distinct and ethereal sound that combined elements of jazz, folk, and Eastern mysticism. He first came to public attention in the 1940s when he wrote the hit song "Nature Boy" for Nat King Cole. The song, with its haunting melody and poetic lyrics, quickly became a classic and was covered by numerous artists over the years.
Ahbez also had a unique personal philosophy that he called "the Edenist philosophy." This philosophy emphasized a natural and simple way of living in harmony with nature, and Ahbez himself was known for living a bohemian lifestyle that included sleeping outdoors and wearing long hair and a beard.
Despite his unconventional lifestyle, Ahbez was a respected and influential figure in the music world, and his legacy continues to inspire musicians and fans alike. He continued writing music and performing throughout his life, and his songs have been covered by artists such as Elvis Presley, Nina Simone, and Jeff Buckley.
Eden Ahbez passed away on March 4, 1995, but his music and message of peace and harmony live on. He remains a beloved and enigmatic figure in the history of American music.
