Jagjit & Chitra - The Finest Moments

A Tribute

The Ghazal King and his Queen - undoubtedly one of the most well known ghazal duos in the world today. Jagjit Singh is one of the foremost ghazal singers and Chitra Singh had been a perfect foil for him till the cruel hands of fate snatched away their teenage son Vivek.

Jagjit Singh is indisputably one of the most talented artists of India. He was born on February 8, 1941 in Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan, India. He received his musical training from Ustad Jamal Khan, and gained early recognition from his recordings at HMV and EMI India.

Chitra Singh was born in Calcutta to a musical family. Her mother was a classical vocalist. She learnt classical music and Rabindra sangeeth from an early age. After complete a degree in English she moved to Bombay hoping to become a playback singer.
