When people were so madly diverted to the new techno film music somewhere in the 70s, Jagjit Singh ji re-introduced GHAZAL by filling amazing spirits and gave a Beautiful, Modern and Attractive Face to the Film Generation. In this process He, unknowingly was establishing and creating a Level of Brilliant Ghazal music for the Film industry as well and in turn also created a Level and marked his name in the non-Film Modern Ghazals.
JAGJIT SINGH the "Man" who Re-created Ghazals and made it so simple to everybody in the world not only to just understand the type of Music Ghazal is but also to Respect and Fall in love with Ghazals. He was Successful, he got his Fans hooked and was so Creative and consistent with his work conjuring Hits like "Meri zindagi kisi aur ki" and some of my other Favorites like:
- Tum ko Dekha toh
- Koi Dost Hai Na Raqeeb
- Jukhi jukhi si Nazar
- Hazaaron Khwaishen Aisi-Mirza Galib,
- Tum itana jo muskura rahe ho
- Mein nashe mein hoon
- Ek purana mausam lauta
- Hosh walon ko khabar kya
- Patta-boota-boota haal hamaara jaane hai
MAIN NASHE MEIN HOON
(Concert audio)
This is our Favorite, a Pure piece of Ghazal, composed and sung by Jagjit ji.
I just remembered another amazing fact about Jagjit ji regarding "the fans" is that He used to involve his "Fans" so peacefully into his simple Music and the effects were really great and powerful. Thru our own experience I feel proud to share this details as we were fortunate to be in a concert. That is where we found this Beautiful piece of Ghazal "Main nashe mein hoon" and we instantly fell in love with the song. The way Jagjit ji sung it makes all the difference, perception about Life thru his work you can figure out its mind-blowing!!
The type of music he delivered was really something great and makes you loose yourself in his Aura. I say this cause in this particular song there is a different kind of music in every para and even when he emphasized on certain words like "BEKHUDI" makes you feel there's some kind of Life coming out of the word and lets you imagine his pain thru the way he sings. This is what I found a rare magic in his Music which came straight from his HEART. Long Live the King!
