Nostalgia Brings me Back to Ali Abed Alstar

For Nostalgia value, here is one of the earlier songs that made the early success of Rotana music powerhouse. The voice from Qatar Ali Abed Alstar, one of the ealiees TV stars in the Gulf who was able to reach beyond the Gulf region without the help of the internet when Radio was king. Ali is still making music but he has not been able to crossover to other regions ever since.

Ali has an incredible voice, charm and naturally TV persona, unlike many stars from the Gulf he was never shy of appearing in his own music videos. when till now most Arab Gulf singers prefer to hire a model, he was like no, I can do it. That helped him establish a name for himself without losing his early fans.

Ali is not happy with his production company and he now offers to buy his archive from them as he plans to make a comeback on his own. Here is my favorite song of his as I grew up around it and I came to appreciate the man behind the song.

علي عبدالستار - يا ناس أحبه
