Talat Mahmood (February 24, 1924 -- May 9, 1998) was a popular Indian playback singer and film actor. A recipient of Padma Bhushan he is famous for his ghazals, resulting in a title of "king of ghazals" bestowed upon him by fans and critics.

Talat saab as he is now referred to, has often been described as a singer with a silky voice. His voice never suited loud songs, songs that demanded a high-pitched voice. Shouting or screaming didn't suit him and so he avoided those kinds of songs too. He only sang soft, romantic, lyrical, ghazals.Talat saab went for his vocal training under PT.S C R.BHATT in Bhatkhande music college lucknow....

Personality;
People who remember Talat describe his nature as a quiet one. He is often written and described as a decent man, as his voice reflected that decency and sense of calm. Music directors who worked with him claim that when one would listen to him, you would get the feeling that he's a soft-hearted man. As Naushad aptly reflects about Talat; "Because one's character reflects one's art too"....

Interesting facts;

Kardar launched an 'All India Beauty Contest' to hunt for a new heroine to act opposite this immensely popular and much sought after Singing Star. The winner was beautiful Peace Kanwal. * In 1956, Talat became the first ever Indian playback singer to go abroad for commercial concerts. * On Talat's US Concert Tour, Talat's popularity prompted famous New York television host Joe Franklin to invite Talat on his hugely popular programme "The Joe Franklin Show" watched by over 25 million Americans.

She acted in several Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Hindi films with top heroes and all were hits. but the success of Mahkavi Kalidas was stupendous lasted for a long time.

Dear Yuan, Thanks for loading beautiful duet of Talat and Lata. Both the singers were fantastic but also pat for the composer Vasant Desai for the simple but melodious tune and catchy orchestra. It is filmed on B.Sarojadevi and Raja Gosavi.

Hello Yuan and thank you. I've had this duet on a record for a long time. Real nicely tuned by Vasant Desai. But I never dreamed that it'd be ruined by filming it on a clown. Who is this joker?
