The popularity of music concerts of famous singers, like, say, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Atif Aslam, may be judged by the fact that they are attended by thousands of people. A connoisseur of music myself, it gives me pleasure to know about the popularity of these concerts and other entertainment programmes. In the 1950s, male playback singing was dominated by Inayat Hussain Bhatti, Saleem Raza and Munir Hussain. Being disappointed with his fallen status in the industry, Saleem migrated to Canada in the early 1980s and died there after a few years. They will always owe their status to the legends who kept the music scene alive with their heart and soul even in tough times.
