New Delhi (India), July 26: Mukesh sang for the common man’s hopes, anguish and transcience of life. Many paid tribute and remembered Mukesh in his birth century. Rachana Rhythm, who are known for their work on art and artisans, took to their social media handle and wrote, ‘On his centenary, remembering playback singer Mukesh. On this special day, the world commemorates the 100th birth anniversary of the iconic Indian singer, Mukesh ji. Known for his soulful voice that evoked deep emotions across generations, he remains an eternal presence in the hearts of music lovers. Fondly remembered as an affectionate, warm, and genuine soul, his singing exuded the same warmth and honesty that endeared him to millions.
Mukeshji's love and care extended not only to his family but also to those he considered close. The renowned playback singer, Lata didi, remembers him as her fondest 'rakhi brother,' who treated her and the children with utmost love and pampering. His motivating presence made an everlasting impact on young talents like Lata Didi, leaving an indelible mark on their lives.
In 1975, a memorable incident took place during a performance by Lata Didi in the USA. As a child performer, she was introduced on stage by none other than Mukeshji himself. Standing beside her throughout her entire performance, he supported her with unwavering love and encouragement. It was an experience that Lata didi cherished forever, a testament to the deep bond they shared.
Mukeshji's musical legacy lives on through his talented son, Nitin Mukesh, who continues to mesmerize audiences with his emotive singing prowess. Nitin Mukesh has not only upheld the family's musical heritage but also added his unique flair, making him a beloved artist in his own right.
As music enthusiasts, we are forever indebted to Mukeshji for gifting us a treasure trove of timeless songs. Each melody remains etched in our hearts, transcending time and touching the souls of listeners across the globe. His songs continue to evoke feelings of love, melancholy, and joy, resonating with people of all ages.
On this significant occasion, we bow down in gratitude to this humble soul who left an indelible mark on the world of music. Mukeshji's contributions to Indian cinema and music will forever be celebrated, and his songs will continue to be cherished by generations to come. As we commemorate his 100th birth anniversary, let us remember and rejoice in the glorious melodies of the legendary Mukeshji.’
Mukesh ji’s voice imbued all musical pieces with a simplicity that relayed the emotions of the common man and spoke of love, loss and the importance of human relationships.
