Mujeeb Aalam (February 4, 1948 – June 2, 2004) was a Pakistani playback singer who had a short film career. His singing style was a mixture of Mehdi Hassan and Ahmad Rushdi's style.[1] He sang dozen of hit songs in late 1960s and remained popular with cinema viewers. However, he lost his popularity in mid-1970s as more versatile singers like Akhlaq Ahmed and A Nayyar entered Pakistan film industry.
Career

Essentially he was a very humorous person. He loved to exchange jokes and made friends easily.
