Jagjit Singh: A soulful musical tribute

Some of music's greatest personalities gathered for the launch of singer Shaan's album Yaadon Ka Safar - a tribute to late Ghazal singer Jagjit Singh.

Shaan said, "I have shared a very strong bond with Jagjit Singh. Our connection went much beyond just being singers. It was my pleasure to know him as a person as well as a musician. I appreciated his choice of poetry - very soulful and serene. Though his choice of songs was melancholic, they had depth in them. He kept the poetry real and classy, no matter what. In fact, Jagjitji is partly responsible for my entry into Bollywood music."
