Talat Aziz

The most handsome ghazal singer :). One of the leading ghazal singer from the early 80's lot. Talat Aziz has a soft soothing voice complimented by control over raagdaari. He has worked under Mehdi Hassan, and maestro's singing style is also evident in his rendition. Unfortunately he has been quite inconsistent as far as his presence in terns of new releases is concerned. His foray into acting also effected his career as a ghazal singer. His compositions also range from excellent to ordinary. However, overall Talat Aziz remain one of the leading ghazal singers in India.

My personal favorites are:

1. Mere to ek baat ka
2. Tum naghma-emaa ho
3. Kais sukoon paoon
4. Maine ek asiyanaa jalaya tha
5. Aisa lagta hain zindegi tum ho
