Mohammad Nouri was one of the foremost Iranian vocalists who composed and performed more than 300 songs for half a century.
His romantic song “Jaan-e Maryam” and also a patriotic one “Iran” are well known piece of music among the Iranians both before and after the Islamic Revolution.
Born 1929 in Tehran, Nouri studied English Literature at the University of Tehran. However, his passion for music made him attend a prestigious conservatory during his studies to gain knowledge of singing under instruction of the then leading mentors like Esmaeil Mehrtash.
Early in his career, he seemed a bit thought-provoking and hardly palatable for some young and aged pop music lovers who preferred stage and special event performers.
However, his efforts resulted and Nouri acquired some form of reputation among followers of chore orchestral music for his impressive tunes.
In the early 1960s, his capability to balance between Iranian folk and pop music brought him decades of popularity among Iranians of all generations.
In 2010, after losing a marathon battle with a blood disorder, he passed away but his magic sound still exists.
