The news of the death of pop star Nazia Hassan on Sunday,August 13, 2000, spread like wildfire.
Within seconds, the internet, newspapers and the rest of the news media around the globe were flashing the news of her final journey.
Amidst the sobs and tears, almost every one had one thing in mind, i.e., "God Almighty had showered Nazia with all the bounties, except length of age.
One could easily rank her as the first and foremost pop singer of Asia, generally and the Indo-pak subcontinent in particular. Born in a well to do, highly enlightened family in 1965, she had shown an aptitude for music from her earlier days.
As a young child, she frequently appeared in Pakistan television's music program for children, called "Sang Sang". Sohail Rana was the lead person of that show. Her father Baseer and her mother Muneeza took great interest in the upbringing and education of Nazia and her younger brother, Zohaib. Both of these gifted kids were admitted to school in London, where they received education as well as lessons in music.
In 1978, in England, thirteen year old Nazia recorded a song "Aap jaisa koi meri zindigi mein Aaye, tou baath bun jaaye" (film: Qurbani, music:Biddu, lyrics: Indeevar, picturised on Zeenat Aman). "Aap jaisa koi" is considered the first pop song of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent, the greatest achievement of Nazia, hence, a milestone in her music career.
In 1979, both Nazia and Zohaib came out with their first music album "Disco Deewanay", which happened to be a record breaking collection of pop songs.
She became the heart-throb of teenagers with songs like:
Komal Palkain Bojhal
Boom Boom
Dum Dum, Dee Dee
Aaona Pyar Karain, and many more.
Nazia was married to an enterpreneur, Ishtiaq Beig, in 1995, with whom she had a son, Areez, in 1997. She had been battling against cancer since 1996 and eventually succumed to it on Sunday morning. She was only 35 years old.
An admirer of Nazia had confided in me the other day: "How could this happen to such a decent girl, with a sweet voice, who had brought happiness to the lives of millions of music lovers around the world. OH God, why Nazia"?
"Nazia had, indeed, walked all the steps, which had been ordained for her by an authority, which is greater than any human agency"
I still cant grasp the fact that she is not with us anymore. no matter what she still is my an all time fav female singer, nobody is close to her talents..
Hasan jahngir came and went..alamgir also had his stint of success but nazia hassan songs never faded away consdering they were all made in 80's. Its a big achievment!!Even today I appreciate nazia and zohaibs songs so much
I thought Zohaib was working on his album "Darr" before the death of Nazia Hassan, and it is believed he might release an album to pay a tribute to Nazia Hassan..I dont know how much it progressed but I'm sure he wont remain quiet..
Well you know you've got my vote. I saw a tribute show last year and it was great to see her performing as opposed to listening to a recorded version. I agree with sherrybaba that no one has come close. I mean Hadiqa's ok, but Nazia was class.
I know she didn't sing many punjabi songs but there was one called something like 'Taali de neechay bai ke' which was a favourite. Ali if you have a copy of that stick it on the voice forum and it will be appreciated.
