MUKESH

(1923–1976) Playback singer (see Filmi) remembered as one of the finest voices of Indian popular music; his name often gathered in a trinity with Mohd. Rafi and Kishore Kumar. With Aag '48 he became a fixture in director Raj Kapoor's films. A Retrospect — Mukesh, The Golden Voice of Mukesh and The Unforgettable Mukesh are three compilations from the archives of EMI India. Rare Gems — Mukesh & Asha Bhosle (EMI India) has duets by two of India's best-loved playback singers.
