Career
Born in Sousse, Dadi released several LPs and some instructional videos before his early death. His recordings featured a mix of compositions by his American heroes and original compositions of his own in a similar style. A feature of his early LPs was that they included a tablature booklet, allowing guitarists to learn the tunes for themselves.
En route from New York City to Paris (with Trans World Airlines), in order to continue to Munich (with Lufthansa), Marcel Dadi died when N93119, the Boeing 747 on Trans World Airlines Flight 800, exploded off the coast of Long Island.
He was returning from the United States to France after being honored at Nashville"s Country Music Hall of Fame. Marcel Dadi’s body was recovered with all the other victims.
He is buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Israel.
