Moharam Fouad (also Muharram; 24 June 1934 – 27 June 2002), was an Egyptian singer and actor.
Fouad was born on 24 June 1934 in Cairo, Egypt. He had four brothers and four sisters.
Fouad's introduction to the screen came in 1959 with the film Hassan and Nayima, a legendary Egyptian love story with Soad Hosny.[1]
"Moharam had a unique character, a special flavor and fought his way in the singing career without copying other celebrities singers of his time," said Tarek Shinawy, a renowned movie critic.
Throughout his lifetime, Fouad sang well over 900 songs, 20 of them in praise of Palestine. One of his more well-known songs, "Rimsh Enoh" (His Eye Lashes), earned him fans from around the world.
He later suffered heart complications he had to go to Europe to be treated. Complications with his kidneys also caused continuous problems. He died on 27 June 2002.
He started singing from the age of four when he was chosen from his school to sing solo in front of King Farouk. He had several marriages but only one son, Tarek. His grandson is the Belgian-Egyptian singer Tamino.
