He is universally acclaimed as the finest ghazal singer of his time, perhaps of all time. His unsurpassable vocal range and his mastery over even the most difficult of raags makes him the undisputed emperor of ghazals. His popularity amongst the masses, appreciation by the masses and continued success over five decades makes him on par with Noor Jehan and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in the leaugue of the greatest pakistani singers of all time. There is no better tribute to his greatness than the observation by the eternal nightingale, Lata Mangeshkar that "God sings through Mehdi Hassan".
