Fouad was born on 24 June 1934 in Cairo, Egypt.

Fouad's introduction to the screen came in 1959 with the film Hassan and Nayima, a legendary Egyptian love story with Soad Hosny.

Throughout his lifetime he sang well over 900 songs, 20 of which in praise of Palestine.

One of his songs – called "Rimsh Enoh" (His Eye Lashes) – got him fans from around the world.
