"Mohamed Abdel Aal" known as "Mohamed Fawzy", was an Egyptian singer,composer and actor. Mohammed Fawzy Abd El Aal was born in 1918 in Tanta. His father was a well-to-do farmer in a village called "Kafr Abu Genedy" and Mohammed had two sisters: Bahiga, who became famous with the name of Hoda Sultan, and Zouzou who was known as Hend Allam. What the three had in common were the beautiful voices they inherited from their father who used to recite the koran in public occasions in the village. From his early childhood years, Mohammed Fawzi was known to love singing, and at twelve, there was no denying his talent: He used to Frequent "El Montazah" Park in Tanta every Friday where he would sing the songs of Abd El Wahab and Om Kalthum. He later studied at the Music High Institute. He didn't graduate, but instead became a student of an English music-teacher. He was the first to present songs for children and also "messaharraty" on radio. He composed over 300 songs in his lifetime and became the most popular actor on The Egyptian cinema screen.

      I think Mohamed Fawzy was a wonderful singer with little recognition. I plan to make a DVD on him one day. BTW....I love your photo. Omar Khorshed was a super guitarist.
