And passed away on March 30th, 1977 after an epic struggle with illness that took him at a young age. He is the master of Arabic romantic songs for the 60s, and 70s the champion that was a heart breaker and a smart musician.
Look at this performance of his and see how animated he gets in his songs, it's like he puts so much energy into the song he is performing to make you believe what he believes. His records continue to sell millions and his videos and songs rack up the viewers.
He was the guy with feeling, the guy who knew what women felt and knew how to comfrot them with words, music and emotions. He also understood refined men and tried to make those other ones more refined by sharing his music with the masses. Even though many did not like him as is time, few can disagree that he is a legend of the romantic Arabic song. He was the pop singer of his time, and for that has travled the world performing. Few however, could make him happy.
Here's one of his hundreds of songs that stands the test of time. The Palmist or the fortunate teller as she tells him his life, he narrates.
