Bob Azzam
Egyptian singer of Lebanese origin, Bob Azzam (real name Wadih Georges Azzam) was born in Alexandria on October 24, 1925, and began his career in Italy in the 1950s. Accompanied by an orchestra, he caused a sensation by covering Marino Marini's hits in Italian and English. However, it was in France that his success arrived, thanks to two songs released in 1960 that immediately put him in the spotlight: "Mustapha", an adaptation of the Egyptian song "Ya Mustapha", which topped the French charts, and "Fais-moi le couscous, chéri", a humorous song created by Armand Canfora (music) and Jean Bingler (lyrics), later covered by artists such as Richard Gotainer, Rachid Taha and La Bande à Basile. That same year, he was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque de l'Académie Charles Cros for the track "Viens à Juan-les-Pins", and went on to record some twenty singles, putting aside his electronic engineering diploma for that of a singer. When his success waned, he turned to the world of nightlife, opening a nightclub in Geneva, Switzerland. His most famous songs, such as "T'aimer follement", "Mustapha", "Fais-moi le couscous, chéri" and "Viens à Juan-les-Pins" , appear on compilations such as Mustapha, released in 2011, 7 years after Bob Azzam's death in Monaco at the age of 78.
