Saleem Raza is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on March 4, 1932 in Amritsar, Punjab, India.
Saleem Raza was born Noel Dias in a Christian family. After independence of Pakistan in 1947, he migrated to Pakistan and settled in Lahore. He first sang for Lahore Radio Station. Raza also had made friends with an artist of the time, Mohni Hameed. Saleem Raza and Mohni Hameed were often seen attending events together.
Saleem Raza remained a dominating singer in the late 1950s due to his popularity in singing tragic songs. In 1961, the music director, Khalil Ahmed, recorded a sad song, Kisi chaman main raho tum bahaar bun kay raho, in Raza’s voice for film Aanchal (1962) but he was not satisfied with his singing style. Initially, he decided to re-record the same song in Mehdi Hassan’s voice but changed his mind because Mehdi Hassan was facing difficulty with high notes as the composition had wide range and variations. Khalil Ahmed finally invited the famous singer Ahmed Rushdi to sing the same song and Rushdi not only satisfied Khalil but also the song was a super hit. Apart from Ahmed Rushdi, Saleem Raza was in direct competition with highly talented singers like Munir Hussain, Mehdi Hassan, Masood Rana, Mujeeb Aalam and Bashir Ahmad. Moreover, his voice was best suited on Syed Musa Raza (Santosh Kumar) and his brother Darpan. These 2 actors also lost their popularity in the mid 1960s. These were the basic factors which affected his popularity. Later, with the change in the recording devices, Saleem Raza found it difficult to adjust to the new equipment, resulting in a setback to his career.
