Jagjit Singh’s death at the age of 70 in Mumbai has shocked the music fraternity in Pune. Singers and music composers in the city were of the opinion that Jagjit had taken the magic of ghazals to the common man.
According to well-known composer Salil Kulkarni, besides being an excellent ghazal singer, Jagjit also had an extraordinary voice. “He was blessed with a soft and soothing voice, which was one of the best voices in our country. Ghazals were earlier limited to the elite, but he made it simple for the common man,” he said.
