I really appreciate your selection of songs sung by Jaggit. And the song sung for his departed son is simply superb.

 

Jagjit Singh is apparently the most googled Ghazal singer and some time back was caught up in a controversy when he criticised A R Rahman because he felt that he was only composing tapori music and replicating western tunes and not capable of composing Ghazals that had meaningful lyrics and tunes..

Each Musician has his own passion and preference. Jagjit Singh's criticism on A.R. Rehaman is not justified. AR Rehaman has composed Ghazals too though they are less in number.

" AaZ Jane Ki Zidd Na karo " is one of Rehaman's favorite Ghazals.

Aaj Jaane ki zid na karo is a very famous Ghazal of Farida Khanum, also sung by Asha Bhosle ! A R Rehman might have liked it ! however, Rehman is a very talented composer no doubt about it ..

True, A. R Rehaman uses modern equipment for his recordings of compositions. Then hands over individual notes to his arrangers under whom  Percussion instrumentalists and wind instrumentalists work Rehaman is a very hard working Musician who never goes to the recordings without Rehearsals.

No doubt A. R. Rehman is one the best music composer. I don't much about his music but I listen songs of Rosa, Choti se Asha, very very nice one. Every music composer have their own style and flavor. No one should criticize. Jagjit shing is master of his style of music and Rehman is his own style.

Yes of course they are both good in their own fields but generally Ghazal singers do have e a superiority complex because the songs they sing are lyrically more beautiful and meaningful and they may consider others below their own standards . However, majority of people like the kind of songs that are fast paced and entertaining..

There are many Ghazal singers who sang in Movies too They did not consider themselves as a special breed.

Talat Mehmood , Ustad Barkhat Ali Khan Chandan Das, K.L. Sagal are some of the famous Ghazal singers who sang in Movies too.
