Re: mehdi hassan passed away
Thanks for the links, Saregama.
I am pasting tributes from Indian artists from the 2nd link:
**Lata Mangeshkar **
(In Hindi) aaj bohot bade ghazal gayak kalaakar mehedi hassan sahab hamare bich nahi rahe,mujhe is baat bohot dukh hai,gazal gaayki ke kshetra mein unhone bohot bada parivartan laaya,aaj gazal unke jaane se ghazal ki bohot nadi haani hui hai, ab un jaisa kalakar phir se aana mushkil hai,wo bohot bade shastriya sangeet ke gayak bhi the,aur unke gaane me rajasthan ke sangeet ki khushboo bhi thi,unhone mere liye kuch gaane banaaye the, unme se hi ek ghazal maine jo unhone mujhe gaake bheji thi, uska maine duet karke record kiya tha,un ke saath mera ye ek hi gaana hai, main ishwar se prarthana karti hun, ki mehedi sahab ki aatma ko woh shaanti pradan karein.

From the first link.
I never knew about this.
Does anybody have a link to the duet ? I would love to hear it.
India’s nightingale Lata Mangeshkar, who made a rare collaboration with Mehdi Hassanfor a song in an album, remembered the Pakistani ghazal maestro as an outstandingsinger 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.
