Our artists' are popular all over the world. Many new talented artists in Pakistan are still working hard to bring quality Pakistani music. We can easily judge Alamgir as the pioneer of music industry who's first big hit was 'DEKHA NA THA KABHI HUM NAY YEH SUMMA', and remains the song he is still most identified with, though later songs such as 'Yeh Shaam Aur Tera Naam' and 'Mein Ne Tumhare Gagar Se Kabhi Pani' continued to add to his composition. Alamgir, it must be said, laid the groundwork that countless others used to break into the music industry. He not only sang well, he was a performer in the true sense of the word. There is no denying Alamgir's contribution to the evolution of the pop music genre in Pakistan. NAZIA HASSAN was the first one to cross the forbidden Pakistan-India border to sing in an Indian film called 'Qurbani' which was 'APP JAISA KOI'. And later this song became a youth anthem in both India and Pakistan. And next NAZIA, ZOHAIB and BIDDU (an Indian composer) teamed up to release 'DISCO DEEWANE' which became the biggest pop selling album till then in Pakistan. The Hasan siblings released one more album, 'Boom Boom', in 1984. This second collaboration with Biddu, the undisputed king of Indian filmi disco music, was also a huge success. Their success marked a turning point in the pop history. And later Vital Sign ventured on to Pakistani television screens with their guitars and a catchy, patriotic song named 'Dil Dil Pakistan' in 1986. Their album released in 1987 with gems like 'Yeh Shaam' and funky 'Goray Rung Ka Zamana'. Then came Jupitars with their evergreen hit songs 'Yaroun Yehi Dosti Hai', continued with Hassan Jehangir's 'Hawa Hawa' in '1990
