New Delhi: Today, on the 82nd birth anniversary of legendary ghazal singer Jagjit Singh, we remember him and pay tribute to his immense contributions to Indian music. Singh, who was born on February 8, 1941, was a trailblazer in the world of ghazal and left a lasting impact on Indian music. His unique style of singing, his mastery of the ghazal form, and his emotional delivery will always be remembered and celebrated.
On his birth anniversary, we pay tribute to his immense contributions to Indian music and celebrate the timeless beauty of his iconic songs.
Singh rose to fame in the 1970s and 1980s with his soulful voice and unique style of singing that blended traditional ghazal with modern pop and rock elements. He was also a talented composer and often worked with his wife Chitra Singh, who was also a singer. The couple recorded many albums together, including "The Unforgettable" and "Ecstasies," which became some of the best-selling albums in Indian music history.
In honor of the singer, here are five of his most iconic songs:
Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe Ho
Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi
Kal Chaudhvin Ki Raat Thi
Jhuki Jhuki si Nazar
Koi ye Kaise Btaye
Woh Kagaz Ki Kashhi
Hothon Se Chhu Lo Tum
Koi Fariyaad
Chitthi Na Koi Sandesh
Hoshwalo Ko Khabar Kya
