Farid al-Atrash
At 36 films (in addition to a cameo in Layali Al-Qahira in 1939), he is likely the most prolific male singing star of the age. He sang other composers’ material in some of his films, including Qabelni Ya Abi, Nargis, Thawrat El-Madinah, and Leila, Bint El-Shatie, while Mohamed Abdel Wahab and Farid al-Atrash wrote all their own music.
