Overview

Ghazals & Geet --- 1975

Being one of the top most singers in the East, and by far the top male singer of Pakistan Mehdi Hassan is one of the most versatile vocalists around. Mehdi Hassan was born in Luna, State of Jaipur, in the late twenties, son of a musician. From early age onward his father trained him extensively in various styles of music. After partition, he settled in Punjab and the change in domicile also brought about many different interests, especially in light music. Soon enough he found himself singing in several Pakistani films, and in less than a decade he skyrocketed to fame. Since then he has sung literally hundreds or thousands of songs, very many of which became instant hits. Mehdi Hassan was and still is the hottest selling singer on records, inside the country as well as anywhere else where his name is heard. His voice is heard daily on national radio by millions of people, and through the years he has made uncountable appearances on Pakistan's TV. For the first time in the U.S. Mehdi Hassan gave a brilliant performance in a show sponsored by ASGHAR INTERNATIONAL, in New York City. It was then that some exclusive stereo recordings were made using most sophisticated Stereo Equipments & Sound Studios in the U.S.A. The results are here: in your hands. ...And we wish you Good Luck with many hours of delightful listening pleasure! Recorded live in New York. "We are thankful to EMI (Pakistan) for their cooperation"
