Mahendra Kapoor - Main yoon hi mast naghme lutata rahoon

Mahendra Kapoor is no more.. One of the most powerful voices in hindi, punjabi and marathi film music passed away today due to a heart attack. He was 74. He would be remembered for putting up amazing energy levels in his songs.

* Rafi saab did train him for sometime but then asked him to learn classical music. [caption id="attachment_7044" align="alignright" width="200" caption="One of his recent Pics "]
