Jeanette Georges Feghali (10 November 1927 – 26 November 2014), known professionally as Sabah, was a Lebanese singer and actress. Her professional career started in Egypt and later extended to Lebanon and the wider Arab world. She amassed a vast line of work over six decades, out-scaling most past and present contemporaries. Sabah is often regarded as one of the greatest Arab singers of the 20th century.
Born to rural Lebanese parents in a village 15 kilometres from Beirut, Sabah grew up with a love for performing arts. In 1945, she was noticed for an acting talent at her school in Lebanon and later invited to Egypt by actress and film director Assia Dagher. There, she was cast in her first film as the original character Sabah, whose name was chosen through a public poll and later adopted by Sabah as a stage name.
