Jagjit Singh - The Ghazal King
Jagjit Singh. He was a true legend in his own time. In a span of nearly 35 years, by several estimations, he released 80 plus discs. But during the same time, along with his singing wife Chitra (see the attached pictures below), he released nearly 400 albums. These included, apart from the individual albums, various collections of songs from his released albums. This number is truly an astonishing achievement. Jagjit Singh, though popularly known for his ghazals, also had numerous devotional albums to his credit. He also was active in many films. He was occasionally participated in composing music for TV shows. He sang in many languages, but mostly in Hindi and his mother tongue, Punjabi. He was decorated with innumerable awards. Prominent of these include Padma Bhushan, Sahitya Academy Award, Sangeet Natak Academy Award, Sahitya Kala Academy Award, and host of others. I was encouraged by several members of this Forum to start a thread on Jagjitji. Finally I decided to take the plunge. Jagjitji, who passed away in 2011 at the age of 70, left us with a legacy of overwhelming song contributions. Singhji was affectionately known as the Ghazal King. Because he lives through his work in our hearts forever, Singhji is still the King. I will start this thread with Singhji’s discography. I split this into various parts, sorted alphabetically. Each part of the discography lists 20 albums. I will upload these parts below. I will follow up this with a devotional album of Jagjitji. Next, the discography… Attached image(s) |

Just back in my hometown after 3 months, thank you very much Swarapriya for this wonderful collection, I have been waiting for this collection. Bhai Saab, You're very welcome. You are one of the members of this Forum, Bhai Saab, who have encouraged me time and again to start this kind of thread. Before I could plunge into it, I wanted to make sure that I had enough albums to share and make a full justification of it. It turns out that I got plenty of them that I will be able to share that will keep this thread alive hopefully for sometime to come. Again, thank you very much for the encouragement. Cheers, S |
