I love music. Music defines every beat of my heart. I was devastated when I heard of the passing of Jagjit Singh. I am blessed that I got to see him in concert on one of his first American tours. I hope he rests in paradise to the best of his ability. I am happy that he will always live on through his music.
Jagjit Singh was a famous ghazal singer, and had an eclectic singing style. His voice, the moment he spoke was defined. No one has a voice like him, no on has his ability which is why I say it was and is devastating news.
One of my all time favorite songs by him is, "Honton se chu lo tum...." below you will find a link to the song...
The first line in the song says, "Hothhon se chhu lo tum mera geet amar kar do, ban jaao meet mere, meri preet amar kar do." ***Translation to English*** "Touch my song with your lips, make it immortal,
be my beloved, make my love immortal." So beautiful... we truly lost a legend, but he left his legacy that many will know for years to come.
Rest in Paradise Jagjit Singh (8 February 1941 – 10 October 2011)
