George Wassouf started singing very young at the age of 10 years old in his hometown Kafroun that consequent to Mashta Al Helou in Tartous, Syria on different occasions such as marriages, parties, hotels, etc. Shortly thereafter he moved to Lebanon where he started singing and his popularity grew. It was at the age of 16 years old when he became known as "Sultan El-Tarab" as called by the famous international Actor Omar Sharif, Arabic for "The Sultan of Singing", with his classic song "el-Hawa Sultan".
People at that time thought of him as being the only one who could provide tarab with his magical and crystal voice that was very sharp and high-pitched when he was young and matured into the deep, commanding voice that he is now known for. A few of his first songs include "Hawa Sultan", "Rohi ya Nesmah", "Helif el-Amar", "Law Naweit" are the ones that really brought him up to fame.
The family name "Wassouf" is first of all the name of a statue God that was worshipped in the middle ages (around 1500 b.c.). Wassouf's magical voice was discovered by his first manager and producer "George Al-Khouri". This happened when Wassouf was 12 years old - he was singing at a wedding party. George Wassouf also got married very young at the age of 21 to Shalimar, who is originally from Sierra Leone. They have three children: Wadee', Hatem, and George Jr. His oldest son's name is Wadee', which is why he is known as Abu Wadee'.
George Wassouf has produced more than 30 albums and has performed concerts all around the world. Started from the famous Lebanese show which fired the fame of many Lebanese singers "Studio El Fan" 1980 when he was only 16 years old, surprisingly he was called at this time "Sultan of Tarab". The Song "Hilef il Amar" made a massive hit in the Arab world, although Wassouf was quite young at that time. However Wassouf was able to rise to the rank of "king" of Arab Tarab. Many Singers are jealous of wassouf , and that's why they try to copy his unique style and performance. Some of the younger singers who attempt to copy his style are George al-Rassi and Wael Jassar. Wassouf is one of the few singers that were able to attract millions of fans in a short period of time. In addition, Wassouf is not only famous in the Arab World but is also known in Europe and the States as one of the Best Arabian Singers.
According to his life and his fame he should have been called also "The King of Rumors" as he lived a life that was filled with rumors about his love life, his health and so on that it was told once earlier in 2001 that he died of an overdose.
He doesn't like to shoot his songs into video clips although he had some successful hits in the early 1990s, he used to say about this: "I don't feel I can act ... I really can't... I only find myself when I'm on the stage ... singing, but the video clip forces me to act".
On June 2002 , Sultan Al Tarab Released his new album "Salaf Wi Dein", which made a huge success in both the Arab world and abroad.

وأنا عمري ما جبت سيرته غير بخير
يا اللي ما عمريش جرحته
سايبه يغلط براحته مع إني
أقدر أقول حاجات كثير
بيتكلم عليّ، بيقول فيّ وفيّ
وأنا عمري ما جبت سيرته غير بخير
سايبه يغلط براحته مع إني
أقدر أقول حاجات كثير
بيقول، ما يقول
ما هو كل يا قلبي ما نتألم
بالوقت أنا وإنت هنتعلم
علشان ما نكررش غلطنا ما يقول
ع الحب اللي زمان جمعنا
على أشواقنا وعلى أوجاعنا
كان وهم قابلناه في سكتنا ما يقول
العشرة غالية، غالية لو في ناس يئتمنوا
هيبيع اِسمه وغرامه ما هو ده أصله وتمامه
طب ده اللي زيّه يا قلبي ما تلوموش
خيرها يا قلبي في غيرها وأهي ذكرى هنفتكرها
علشان لو يوم قابلته ما أكلموش
أي دمعة حزن لا، لا، لا، لا
أي جرح في قلبي لا، لا، لا، لا
أي لحظة حيرة لا، لا، لا، لا، لا، لا، لا
حتى نار الغيرة لا، لا، لا، لا، لا، لا، لا
هيبيع اِسمه وغرامه ما هو ده أصله وتمامه
طب ده اللي زيّه يا قلبي ما تلوموش

هيبيع اِسمه وغرامه ما هو ده أصله وتمامه
طب ده اللي زيّه يا قلبي ما تلوموش
خيرها يا قلبي في غيرها وأهي ذكرى هنفتكرها
علشان لو يوم قابلته ما أكلموش
The song "Byetkallem Aalaya" by George Wassouf is a heart-wrenching lament about a love lost and the pain it causes.

He acknowledges that he is capable of saying many things about his former lover, but he chooses not to.
The song then pivots to discuss the importance of not repeating past mistakes in love. The singer acknowledges that love is important, but it can be costly if given to the wrong person. He describes how some people are willing to sell their name and love even if it is not genuine, and advises the listener not to blame themselves if they fall victim to such a person. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, urging the listener to remember their past love fondly while moving forward.
Overall, "Byetkallem Aalaya" is a poignant song that speaks to the pain of lost love and the importance of learning from past mistakes to avoid future heartache.

بيتكلم عليّ، ويقول فيّ وفيّ
He talks about me and mentions me
وأنا عمري ما جبت سيرته غير بخير
But I have never spoken ill of him, only good things
يا اللي ما عمريش جرحته
Those who have never hurt him
سايبه يغلط براحته مع إني
He lets him make mistakes even though I could say a lot
أقدر أقول حاجات كثير
I can say a lot of things
بيقول، ما يقول
He talks but doesn't say anything
ما هو كل يا قلبي ما نتألم
It's not everything, my heart, don't be in pain
بالوقت أنا وإنت هنتعلم
You and I will learn with time
علشان ما نكررش غلطنا ما يقول
So that we don't repeat our mistake
ع الحب اللي زمان جمعنا
On the love that brought us together
على أشواقنا وعلى أوجاعنا
On our desires and our pains
كان وهم قابلناه في سكتنا ما يقول
It was a dream that we met in our path
العشرة غالية، غالية لو في ناس يئتمنوا
Love is precious, even if some people betray it
هيبيع اِسمه وغرامه ما هو ده أصله وتمامه
They'll sell their name and love, what kind of person are they?
طب ده اللي زيّه يا قلبي ما تلوموش
Don't blame the person who looks like them, my heart
خيرها يا قلبي في غيرها وأهي ذكرى هنفتكرها
We'll remember the good memories with others
علشان لو يوم قابلته ما أكلموش
As a reminder that if we meet them again, we won't talk to them
أي دمعة حزن لا، لا، لا، لا
No tears of sadness
أي جرح في قلبي لا، لا، لا، لا
No wounds in my heart
أي لحظة حيرة لا، لا، لا، لا، لا، لا، لا
No confusing moments
حتى نار الغيرة لا، لا، لا، لا، لا، لا، لا
Not even the fire of jealousy
