This video of Junaid Jamshed and Salman Ahmed singing 'Dil Dil Pakistan' will warm your heart

Further proof that Junaid Jamshed's songs will always be reminiscent of our childhood
13 Dec, 2016

Pakistan's biggest 90s popstar is no longer amongst us.

Singer-turned-preacher Junaid Jamshed was on board Pakistan International Airlines flight PK-661 six days ago, which crashed en route to Islamabad from Chitral.

The news stunned his fans nationwide, and his friends in the music fraternity were equally grief-stricken. Many posted pictures with him, others remembered him from his early Vital Signs days.

Junoon's Salman Ahmed posted a video as tribute to his friend. The video dates back to 2011 and features Junaid Jamshed and his wife, Ayesha during a visit they paid Salman at his his home around his birthday in December. Salman's son, Imran made a video of the little jam session the two had.

Salman can be seen playing the guitar while JJ softly sings Dil Dil Pakistan; his wife and Salman's wife Samina can be seen singing along too.

There's a short video of them trying out new melodies at this unplugged session as well.

Born on September 3, 1965 and educated at the the University of Engineering and Technology (Lahore), Junaid enjoyed a 17-year stint in the Pakistani pop music industry.

He shot to fame as the vocalist of Vital Signs, which emerged in 1987 as the project of reclusive TV producer Shoaib Mansoor. Mansoor wanted the band to record a patriotic song and video. The song went on to become the timeless track that is Dil Dil Pakistan.

Truly a profound loss.

Singers don't die. Their voice get heard every day. I am sure their wont be a single day where some on in the world don't listen to Junaid Jamshed tracks or video. Great lost to music lover. When ever I feel dawn I listen to soft/smooth music like Dil Dil Pakistan or A wathan pyaray wathan.

Heard for the first time. Beautiful song. Must be quite a massive hit in Pakistan! "maa tujhe salam" number by AR Rehman came to my mind when I heard this.

My five year old said it best. I was watching TV and a Junaid Jamshed naat was on. I said to my son he is the guy who passed away in the plane crash and he looked at me bewildered, pointed at the TV and said 'but he's alive'!

today we are sharing such videos as great memories. But why were we cursing JJ when this video came out first time on social media. We are senti-motional hypocrites and impostors.
