Goodbye MH

The Khalil Gibran of ghazals is no more.

Thank you for the memories Ustad Mehdi Hassan.

another great one gone!  RIP! 

play some of his music

India’s nightingale Lata Mangeshkar, who made a rare collaboration with Mehdi Hassan for a song in an album, remembered the Pakistani ghazal maestro as an “outstanding singer” and said the news of his death Wednesday has left her upset.“It is a very sad news. I am really upset ever since I heard this news. Not only me, the entire world loved his songs. There is no doubt about it that he was an outstanding singer,” Mangeshkar told IANS.
In 2010, “Tera Milana”, a duet by the two legends was launched as part of an album named “Sarhadein”. While Hassan recorded it in Pakistan in 2009, Mangeshkar later heard the track and recorded her part in India in 2010. It was later mixed together for a duet.
Hassan, known for ghazals like “Ranjish hi sahi”, “Patta patta, boota boota”, passed away at a Karachi hospital after a prolonged illness. He was 84.
Lata, 82, says they shared mutual respect.
“I have shared a very good relationship with him. I really respect him a lot and even he used to respect me a lot. I have met him just two to three times, he was a wonderful human being.”
“Gaana ek aisi cheez hai jo sabko nazdeek rakhta hai…Gaanewale hamesha nazdeek ke hi hote hai (Music keeps everyone close, and singers are always close to one another),” added Mangeshkar.

That is really a sad news......

We will miss them always.
