Surinder Kaur, the Nightingale of Punjab who ruled over lakhs of hearts across the Indian sub-continent for about six decades due to her melodious voice, died in the United States today.
She was 77.
Padma Shree awardee Surinder Kaur, who had gone to the US for treatment of multiple ailments, breathed her last at a New Jersey hospital after a prolonged illness, family sources here said.
Among her memorable numbers were 'Lathe di chadar', 'Kala Doria', 'Nach lain de ni menu deyor de viah vich' and 'Ik meri akh kashni.' She is survived by two daughters, including singer Dolly Guleria whose 'Ambarsare de papad' has been a major hit among Punjabi songs in the recent years.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh expressed grief and sorrow over the death of the singer. '' The people of the country in general and Punjabis in particular would forever remember her outstanding contribution towards the promotion of our rich cultural heritage,'' he said.
