Short rendition of Raag Kedar by Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan.
Bade Ghulam Ali was born in Kasur, Punjab, British India.[2] His father was a famous singer, Ali Baksh Khan, in a West Punjabi family of musical heritage.
At the age of seven, he learned sarangi and vocal from his paternal uncle Kale Khan, who was a singer, and after his death he trained under his father.
Khan started his career by playing sarangi. He became popular after his debut concert in Kolkata.
Khan amalgamated the best of four traditions: his own Patiala-Kasur style, the Behram Khani elements of Dhrupad, the gyrations of Jaipur, and the behlavas (embellishments) of Gwalior. His voice had a wide range, spanning three octaves, effortless production, sweetness, flexibility and ease of movement in all tempi.[4]
After the partition of India in 1947, Khan returned to his home in Pakistan, but returned to India later to permanently reside there. He did not approve of the partition, stating: "If in every home one child was taught Hindustani classical music this country would never have been partitioned." In 1957, he acquired Indian citizenship and lived at various times in Lahore, Bombay, Calcutta, and Hyderabad.
He was reluctant to sing for films, but sang two songs based on ragas Sohni and Rageshree for the 1960 film Mughal-e-Azam, in which his voice was represented as Tansen's by the music director Naushad. To dissuade Naushad, he demanded a high price, reportedly Rs. 25,000/- per song, when the rate for popular playback singers such as Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi was below Rs. 500/- per song.
Khan was awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award and the Padma Bhushan in 1962.[5][6]
Khan was married to Ali Jiwai, who died in 1932. Khan's son, Munawar Ali Khan (1930--1989), was a classical singer. His grandson, Raza Ali Khan, is also a Hindustani classical singer.
Khan died in Hyderabad at Basheerbagh Palace in 1968, after a prolonged illness which left him partially paralyzed in his last years. He continued to sing and perform in public with the support of his son Munawar until his death.

@versatilias to the contrary, it was rafi that was the star and this man was the moon. He taught rafi the secrets of the stars and gave him the means to use what he already had, a beautiful voice. A beautiful voice is not of any use if one dosen't know how to use it. Hence, that is why rafi chose to become his student! I fI don't make any sense then it's something that you will find hard to understand...
... Anyway, I hope I helped! Tc

@versatilias Do not go by the star's faint twinkle, only if you travel a thousand light years can you really comprehend it's might and beauty...(which you are clearly yet to in music)
Remember, It's a star that illuminates the moon....
Please till then, refrain from making such preposterous comparisons...

@versatilias- Sir, please, please do not compare Rafisab and Ustadji! Neither of them deserve it. And please do not try to listen to Ustad Bade gulam ali khan for experiment or for his fame! Listen if u want to learn. If u don't prefer PURE classical music, fine, nobody will pressurize u, but please my friend , dn't try to show ur knowledge in this field by comparing. First try to understand the nuances, intricacies, beauty and grandeur of Classical singing with complete HUMILITY. Best wishes.
