Abdel Halim Hafez
Abdel Halim Hafez (June 21, 1929 – March 30, 1977), was an immensely popular singer and actor in Egypt and the Arab world from the 1950s to the 1970s. He is widely considered to be one of the four 'greats' of Egyptian and Arabic music. Abdel Halim's music is still played on radio daily throughout the Arab world. Abdel Halim is considered one of the four greats of Egyptian and Arabic music, along with Umm Kalthoum, Mohammed Abdel Wahab and Farid el-Atrash. His most famous songs include Ahwak ("I love you"), Khosara ("A pity"), Gana El Hawa ("Love, come to us"), Sawah ("Wanderer"), Zay el Hawa ("It feels like love"), and El Massih ("The Christ"), among the 260 songs that he recorded. His last, and perhaps most famous, song, Qariat el-Fingan ("The fortune-teller"), featured lyrics by Nizar Qabbani and music by Mohammed Al-Mougy. He starred in sixteen films, including "Dalilah", which was Egypt's first colored motion picture.
