Who Is Nitin Mukesh?? Options

[meiowpk]

Hi friends,

could anyone please kindly 'enlighten' me on who this singer Nitin Mukesh is? I have heard him sing and think that his style is identical to Mukesh saab's. Is he a relative on Mukesh in some way??? I believe that this singer had started singing in Hindi Films in the early 80's/90's.

Please can anyone post some information on him.

many thanx

Great piece of info Vivek. O yes Manhar definitely got a nice voice! Sigh his career didnt last long enough !

Have also heard that "Loote Koi Mann Ka Nagar" was originally supposed to be a Mukesh-Lata duet. Manhar recorded for Mukesh's part initially and SDB thought he will re-record it in Mukesh's voice later. When Mukesh heard the song, he told SDB that Manhar had done a good job and they should keep his voice. And that is how Manhar got to do "Loote Koi Mann Ka Nagar".

HFM's loss turned out to be Gujarati Music's gain.

Cheers,

Apart from Loote Koi Man and HumTumhe chahte.., I also remember his songs from a flop movie called Bahar Aane Tak, which had some very melodious songs, like muhabbat inaayat Karam...
