SB John - Tu Jo Naheen
Музыка
Outstanding performance from SB John. Very rare. Lyrics by Fayyaz Hashmi, composed by Master Manzoor Hussain for the 1959 film Savera.
Credit to Anis Shakur for this information, and thanks to Asif bhai for bringing it to my attention.
----------------
S.B. John. Sunny Benjamin John, who is popularly known as S.B. John, was born in 1934. He spend most of his life in Karachi, Pakistan.
Accompanied with his wife and two sons namely Robin and Glenn John, S.B. John used to sing gospel on Christmas Eve, on Pakistani television.
Prominent singers like S.B. John who perform it best could still be heard joyously stretching and bending notes, breaking syllables and bouncing phrases back and forth.
S.B. John started singing on Radio Pakistan Karachi as an A category artist. Side by side he also made his presence felt in various functions and stage shows held in Karachi.
S.B. John also sang Janab Rana Akbar Aabadi Sahabs ghazal, Uray hoash us dar pay janay say pehlay. Sohail Rana composed this ghazal at EMI Pakistan.
Around 1973, S.B. John introduced his son, Robin John, to Sohail Rana and said that he wishes to get his son a keyboard. Since young Robin remembered all his fathers songs. Robin was seven or eight years of age at the time.
Fifteen years later, S.B. John again brought Robin to Sohail Rana. By that time Robin had grown up as a talented singer. Hence, Sohail Rana utilized Robins singing talents in Pakistani television shows, and also in private songs and the film recordings.
Additionally, Robin also toured UAE, Turkey and USA with Sohail Rana and participated in the musical programs.
Nowadays, Robin lives in USA. Hopefully, his parents will join him soon.
Presumably, it never occurred to S.B. John that his name will become synonymous with the song
Tu jo naheen hai to kuchh bhee naheen hai, ye mana keh mehfil jawan hai haseen, the 1959 film Sawera, Music composer, Master Manzoor Hussain, lyrics, Fayyaz Hashmi, pictured on Kamal, Shamim Ara- Kamal played the lead.
Forty-seven-years down the line, this song is as much in demand as if it were recorded yesterday. Alas! To this day, no one could come up with the explanation as to what is so special about this song.
But we dont need a logical explanation. Some things should remain mysterious. The wistful magic of S.B. John is, indeed, one of them.

This is a song which will appeal to Human Hearts until the end of the World. Its more than a masterpiece. God must have been present during this Live version in bbc studio Birmingham England.
Sometimes the voice of the angels comes from the heavens in the form of human beings. S. B John is definitely one.
Excellent gazal Resembles to Talat Mehmood saheb💐💐

Heart touching lyrics. Great singing by SB John Sahab. Salutes 👍🙏
This voice is one of the greatest from Pakistan. SB John a legend.
I am speechless hearing gazal of SB John. My blessings to him.
Voice from heaven. Felling that he is singing in front of me. Great time. Love from Africa.
پرسوز آواز، اعلی موسیقی، اور پرانی یادیں۔ واہ بھئی واہ۔
Pakistan zindabaad Really hammering track All time best .song for ever This song never be forgotten Great classic of pakistani cinema Pakistaaaaaaaaaaaaan zindabaaaaaad
Heard this as a kid with my dad , brings all the memories back ❤️❤️look how people wore suits just to sing on stage😀😀 , how respectful? Now a days the more clothes you take off the better they like you !!
One of the few 'bestest' singers ever born in Pakistan. RIP SB John saheb. He would have been a top singer and a millionaire , had he been in India
Me and my wife love this eternal song. Luckily today is her birthday and playing this lovely song for her , October 18'2018,
What feeling of this ghazal.wah wah I listened this ghazal by radio Pakistan when in1960s farmaishi programmes broadcasting by pakistan I was under graduate. So many times that time. There after almost 55 yrs. I listened to on net. Thanks for utube.
Wah... zabardas.... His voice touches my heart. I heard him in the 70s as a child living in Tanzania over shortwave on Radio Pakistan. I looked for this song ever since and I even asked people going to Pakistan to see if they could get his cassette. Alas, the 80s came few remembered him and said I was 'old' fashioned. 90s, noone even knew who he was. Those of us who heard him, he remains in our hearts and minds. I am grateful that this has bought so many beautiful memories of tuning to Radio Pakistan on 19m band.

I today listened to this song's rendition by Glenn. I was shocked that he even copied the melody, beat and depth but SP John is the original who cannot be beat. Old is always Gold. Irrespective, the song lives on. I wish to write SP John a personal letter but i have never found his address, if anyone has his address, please forward it to me sajsanr@gmail.com; At least there is a soul so far away that has not been to his country yet is connected via this beautiful ghazal.
