Carol Saker Channels Najat Al Sagheerah



This is an old school song that got a makeover by Lebanese diva Carol Saker (Saqr) becasue her father asked her to sing it. This is an Arabic gem that was sang by Najat Al Sagheera and the music composition was done by Mohammed Abdelwahab--there's no bigger legend.

Carol has always had that kind of sharp voice that can take any shape she wants to take. The song was recorded in 1960, only to be re-recorded by Carol and her husband--who is a music producer. Carol has injected a bit of herself and emotions in this masterpiece.

Evidently her father was obsessing over this song over their Christmas break--so he asked his daughter to do a cover, he even called in his son in law to help out. Days later we have a new old song that lives up the moment. Carol did not struggle with the song and breezed through it. This is not an easy song, it's a work of poetry where timing is important.
