Munni to Khuda Gawah — the big, high Rafi-style voice of Mard, Aulad, Ram Avtar and three hundred other 1980s films.
Mohammed Aziz came from a Calcutta restaurant stage to Bombay in 1984 and within two years was singing for Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Govinda and Rishi Kapoor in a voice that could reach notes most of his rivals could not. Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Anu Malik, Bappi Lahiri and Rajesh Roshan used him constantly from 1985 to 1992 — My Name Is Lakhan, Aap Ke Aa Jaane Se, Tu Mujhe Kabool — before Kumar Sanu and Udit Narayan took the younger heroes.

Tips
Life
Syed Mohammed Aziz-un-Nabi was born in Ashoknagar, near Calcutta, in 1954, and sang in Calcutta hotels and in Bengali films before coming to Bombay. Anu Malik's Mard (1985) and Laxmikant-Pyarelal's Ram Avtar, Aulad and Khudgarz gave him his first run of hits, and he was the main male voice of the Laxmikant-Pyarelal films of the late 1980s: Ram Lakhan (My Name Is Lakhan), Dayavan, Khuda Gawah (1992), Saudagar, Banjaran, Kroadh.
He sang in Bengali and Odia as well, and recorded devotional music. Work slowed sharply after 1993; he continued to sing on stage and in smaller films until his death, of a heart attack, at Mumbai airport in November 2018 on his way back from a concert in Calcutta.
The voice
Aziz's voice was a bright, high, metallic tenor with exceptional reach — he was known for the top notes — and the Rafi mannerisms of the 1980s revival. It suited the loud melodrama of the period and the devotional song, and in Khuda Gawah and Banjaran, with Kavita Krishnamurthy, it showed a softer side that the big films rarely asked for.
