Legends don’t die …..celebrating his 71st birthday
Jagjeet singh & his voice allways live in my heart….
It is impossible to forget the unique and golden voice of the great Jagjit Singh.I get immense peace and solace in hearing his Gajals and songs.I feel lucky to see him performing live at Sisr Fort stadium and those memories will ever remain fresh in memory.
Impossible to forget this remarkable performer whose legendary performances are going to live forever.I met him twice,once at Delhi and then at Jabalpur and was awed at his simplicity with which he looked at life.
I never got a chance to see his live performance…alass

Jagjit singh will always be remebered and he is a legend..He used to be my all time fav singer since my childhood days.He is still alive with his lovely ghazals and melodious voice.
Jagjit Singh was marvellous. For years he has enchanted me. But what a tragedy about his son and step-daughter.

To me Jagjit & Chitra are complementary,one without other was sufficient and even perfect but together they invoke “wow”. Their singing is very touching and personnel I am listling them since I was 10 and even today they are just as fresh as ever.May god keep their soul in peace.
I hv lived my life n still live only coz of d inspiration of Jagjit’s ghazal.
even i say ..jagne china mujhse mujhe jo bhi laga pyara.
JAGJEET SINGH (JAGMOHAN SINGH) is my life.
his VOICE AND STYLE WAS VERY DIFFERENT.
I LOVE HIM ALWAYS
HE WAS A GHAZAL KING.
It was my dream that I could give his live voice show to my wife on our 25th anniversary…
Jagjitji,
Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
One of our friends went to Karachi and asked for a CD of the best ghazal singer in Pakistan.
They said ‘ Are you from India,Sir? Here in Pakistan we think Jagjit Singh is the best.’
It really made me so proud to hear this story. The undisputed King of Ghazal……who else, but Jagjit Singh.💐🙏
The uncrowned Ghazal King of India. His songs give solace and peace to all. Let his live concert DVDs be once again made available for the general public. His live concert – Life Story performed at Mumbai is not available. His family members may take steps to make available DVDs of all his live concerts.
