The Micro View of Best Songs of 1946 @ SoY – Male Solo Songs – Solo Songs of Vintage Era Male Singers (1)

We have grouped here male singers who can be considered to have, for all practical purposes, faded out in the ‘50s, but had fairly noteworthy presence in the ‘40s.

Solo Songs of G M Durrani

The status of G M Durrani can be judged from the fact that Mohammad Rafi considered him as his ideal in the early days.
