I wrote – Manal Al-Jayoushi:
On July 20, 1937, the great musician Muhammad Sultan was born.
“Sultan” is the owner of an important music school, and during his artistic career he collaborated with the top singing stars, most notably his wife, Faiza Ahmed, Najat Al-Saghira, Souad Muhammad.
Attorney Muhammad Sultan
His father was a police officer, and he wanted his son to join the Faculty of Law, and in fact Sultan obtained a law degree in Alexandria University, and worked as a lawyer for a while, but his love for art made him leave the lawyer to devote himself to composing.
Muhammad Abd-alwahab
The great musician, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, owned the villa adjacent to Sultan’s villa in Gleem, and during the summer period the boy goes to see his favorite star, and from the intensity of his love to the teacher I love music, and Abdel Wahab encouraged him at that time, stressing that one day he will become a great matter.
Fayza Ahmed
At Farid al-Atrash’s home, the first meeting between him and his wife, the late star Faiza Ahmed, was “Farid” had nominated him for a tournament in front of him, and after months they accidentally met in a restaurant, she gave him her phone number and asked him to be the hero of her next movie, and they kept talking daily and a story between them arose between them Love, crowned with marriage in 1966, and their marriage resulted in their twins Omar and Tariq.
A wish that was not fulfilled with Planet of the East
The dream of “Sultan”, like any composer at the time, is to compose a song for the eastern planet Umm Kulthum, so I sent him a song “The Days have Turned”, and he was at the height of his joy at that time, but this joy was dissipated by phone contact with the musician Mohamed Abdel Wahab, to ask him the last. Did you start to compose the song to answer Sultan “yes”.
According to Mohamed Sultan’s statement to Masrawy, Abdel-Wahab told him that the song has been in him for a year, and because of his delay in composing it, “The Six” decided to give it to Sultan, so Sultan decided not to compose even a musical phrase after him in love and loyalty to the professor, and confirmed that the professor heard the beginning of the song and told him that he composed it almost the same way , And thus, his wish to compose a song for the East was not fulfilled.
Another Nightingale work
At three in the morning, the doorbell rang to open Sultan and surprised him with the dark nightingale Abdel Halim Hafez, and he brought him the lyrics of the song “The Sweetest Way in My World”, telling him that he would travel to perform surgery in London, and after his return he would sing it, and after he started composing it already, he heard the news of death Nightingale, the song remained for years in his office “drawer”, until his wife, Fayza Ahmed, sang it.
Business highlights
Some of his most prominent songs are “Reel Taarif”, “I forgive you a lot”, “I love him a lot”, “Stay witnesses”, “I love you, Egypt”, “I promise you always,” “Yama Ya Hawaya”, “Gharib Ya Zaman”, “Saaban Ali , “Your Love and Badari Alaik”, and other successful songs.
Fulfillment, love and memory of Faiza Ahmed
He loved her very much, until he described it in a previous statement to Masrawy, that she is the greatest woman, confirming that he did not marry Wafa and love her, asking: “How do I get married after that.”
