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.

ألقى طعم الشوق، ألقى طعم الشوق ألم
كل يوم بيفوت في بعدك
ألقى طعم الشوق، ألقى طعم الشوق ألم
ليه تعز عليّ ودّك، ليه تعز عليّ ودّك
ودّ قلبي اللي انظلم، ودّ قلبي اللي انظلم
ليه تعز عليّ ودّك، ليه تعز عليّ ودّك
ودّ قلبي اللي انظلم، ودّ قلبي اللي انظلم
أصلي ياما تهت قبلك
بس قلبي لمّا قابلك
قد إيه حسّ بندم
أصلي ياما تهت قبلك
بس قلبي لمّا قابلك
قد إيه حسّ بندم
(أصلي ياما (ياما) تهت قبلك (قبلك
بس قلبي (قلبي) لمّا قابلك
قد إيه حسّ بندم
ع اللي ضاع، ع اللي ضاع
ع اللي ضاع، ع اللي ضاع
ع اللي ضاع من عمري قبلك
إبتديت أحسب عمري بالدقايق والثواني
أصلي ما حسيتش عمري إلا لمّا هواك ناداني
إبتديت أحسب عمري بالدقايق آه والثواني
أصلي ما حسيتش عمري إلا لمّا هواك ناداني
لمّا قلبي حس حبّك، ولمّا قلت إنّي بحبك
شفت فيك الدنيا دنيا، شفت عمري بشكل ثاني
آه لمّا قلبي حس حبّك، ولمّا قلت إنّي بحبك
شفت فيك الدنيا دنيا، شفت عمري بشكل ثاني آه
أصلي ياما تهت قبلك

ع اللي ضاع من عمري قبلك
ليه تغيب لو ثانية عنّي، إنت للأشواق مداوي
ده إنت وعدي وحتَّة منّي، إمتى تجمعنا الحكاوي
ليه تغيب لو ثانية عنّي، إنت للأشواق مداوي
ده إنت وعدي وحتَّة منّي، إمتى تجمعنا الحكاوي
نفسي أحكي نفسي أقول لك، بعد منّي إيه فاضلك
نفسي أحكي إيه نفسي أقول لك، بعد منّي إيه فاضلك
تسوى إيه الدنيا عندي، قول لي إيه بعدك تساوي
تسوى إيه الدنيا عندي، قول لي إيه بعدك تساوي

In "Kul Yowm," George Wassouf sings about the pain of being away from a loved one. The lyrics express the singer's daily struggle as they feel the emptiness of the distance and the weight of their longing and pain. The repeated question, "Why does your leaving hurt me?" conveys the deep sorrow and confusion that the singer feels. The lyrics also touch upon the regret of missed opportunities before meeting the loved one and the transformative power of love. The words "When my heart felt your love, I saw the world anew," illustrate how love can change one's perception of the world.
Through this song, Wassouf showcases his signature style of blending classical Arabic melodies with contemporary music styles. Like many of his other works, "Kul Yowm" became a popular hit in the Arab world and has been covered by other singers as well.

كل يوم بيفوت في بعدك
Every day passes in your absence
ألقى طعم الشوق، ألقى طعم الشوق ألم
I taste the bitterness of longing, I taste the bitterness of pain
ليه تعز عليّ ودّك، ليه تعز عليّ ودّك
Why do I treasure your love so much, why do I treasure your love so much
ودّ قلبي اللي انظلم، ودّ قلبي اللي انظلم
My heart that was oppressed and in pain treasures your love
أصلي ياما تهت قبلك
I have wandered aimlessly before I met you
بس قلبي لمّا قابلك
But my heart feels complete when I met you
قد إيه حسّ بندم
How much do I regret not finding you earlier
ع اللي ضاع، ع اللي ضاع
On what I have lost, what I have lost
ع اللي ضاع من عمري قبلك
On what I have lost from my life before I met you
إبتديت أحسب عمري بالدقايق والثواني
I started counting my life in minutes and seconds
أصلي ما حسيتش عمري إلا لمّا هواك ناداني
I never felt my life before you called me with your love
لمّا قلبي حس حبّك، ولمّا قلت إنّي بحبك
When my heart felt your love, when I said I love you
شفت فيك الدنيا دنيا، شفت عمري بشكل ثاني
I saw life in you, I saw my life in a different way
آه لمّا قلبي حس حبّك، ولمّا قلت إنّي بحبك
Oh, when my heart felt your love, when I said I love you
شفت فيك الدنيا دنيا، شفت عمري بشكل ثاني آه
I saw life in you, I saw my life in a different way, oh
ليه تغيب لو ثانية عنّي، إنت للأشواق مداوي
Why do you disappear even for a second, you are the cure for my longing
ده إنت وعدي وحتَّة منّي، إمتى تجمعنا الحكاوي
You are my promise and a part of me, when will our stories come together
نفسي أحكي نفسي أقول لك، بعد منّي إيه فاضلك
I want to tell you, what is left of me after you
تسوى إيه الدنيا عندي، قول لي إيه بعدك تساوي
What value does life have to me, tell me what is worth after you
