Think of a voice that held millions under it’s spell, think of sheer poetry flowing, think of an enchanted evening with your beloved, cups of wine, and you and your love under a star panoplied sky. Think of music thats nothing short of magic, and a poetry that a queer mix of hindi and urdu. Think of the voice that kept listeners glued to the radio for hours together, and his songs made such super hits. But he never made it big, guess never made it to playback music.
Jagmohan is the name. Jagmohan Sursagar.
Truly an ocean of rhythem. A pulsating soft and sensuous voice, and that depth that reaches out to the innermost recesses of soul. For those who do not know his music, one songs is enough to make him immortal, and that song is ....
Dil ko hai tumse pyar kyun?,
Yeh na bata sakoonga main,
Pehle milan kee chaaon main,
Tumse tumhare gaon main,
Aankhen hui thee chaar kyon ?
Yeh na bata sakoonga main...
Tum ko nazar main rakh liya,
Dil main, jigar main rakh liya,
Khud main hua shikar kyon,
Yeh na bata sakoonga main ...
Roop ki kuch kamee nahin,
Duniya main ik tumhee nahin,
Par main tumharee yaad main
Rehta hoon beqarar kyon ?
Yeh na bata sakoonga main ...
This was the song that captivated the hearts of millions of Indians. And Jagmohan was a household name. His fans and followers still abound all over. Mere mention of his name evokes such happy memories of past. I still remember listening to Jagmohan in the dead of the night over All India Radio on some exotic frequencies that now seem extinct. His voice came shimmering like waves of ocean in that stillness of night. To lovers of Indian music.....
Listen to him.
Listen to him if you are in love.
Listen to him even if you are’nt.
For you won’t ever hear a more melodious voice than Jagmohan Sursagar..
Look for following songs ..
Dil de kar dard liya mainen
Yeh chand nahin teri aarati hai
Meri aankehn bani deewani
Mujhe na sapnon se behlao
Mat kar saaj singar sundari
