Talat Mahmood was born on 24 February 1924 in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. He is considered to be one of the greatest male non-classical and semi-classical singers of India who conquered innumerable hearts and stirred countless souls with his beautifully soft silken voice and profoundly artistic subtle method of singing. Even though he is particularly admired for his rendition of soft and sombre semi-classical and non-classical ghazals, the film songs sung by him are also considered critically flawless and outstanding. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1992, in recognition of his profound artistic contributions in the spheres of cinematic and ghazal music. He was died on 9 May 1998 (aged 74) in Mumbai.
