Cinemaazi remembers one of the most famous singers that the Hindi film industry has ever produced, Mukesh on the occasion of his birth anniversary. Born on 22 July, 1923, he was dubbed the Man with the Golden Voice. He carved a distinct place for himself with songs that express multiple shades of melancholy. His vast cache of well-loved songs include Jeena yahan marna yahan, Hothon pe sacchai rehti hai, Dost dost na raha, Sawan ka mahina, Bas yehi apradh, Jane kahan gaye woh din, Kahin door jab din dhal jaye, Ek pyar ka nagma hain, Main na bhoolonga, Ek din bik jayega, Main pal do pal ka sahayar hoon, Suhani chandni raatein, and Chanchal shital nirmal komal. Regarded as the voice of Raj Kapoor, he won multiple Filmfare awards for best singer for Sab kuch seekha humne from Anari (1959), Sabse bada naadan from Pehchan (1970), Jai bolo beimaan ki from Be-Imaan (1972), and Kabhi kabhie mere dil mein from Kabhi Kabhie (1976). His song Kai baar yuhi dekha hai from Rajnigandha (1973) won him the National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer.
