Kuch arse ch hi Punjab dian do dhian sade toon vichad gaian...pehla Amrita Pritam te hun Surinder Kaur.
Surinder Kaur died at a hopital in New Jersey ,USA after series of medical breakdowns. The second tragedy is that she would not be cremated on the grounds of Punjab but in New Jersey where her two younger daughters are settled. "Main theek nahi haan" were her last words to her eldest daughter Dolly Guleria.
Surinder Kaur was born in Lahore on November 25, 1929, and she recorded her first song with elder sister Parkash Kaur in 1943. The song: "Maavan te teeyan ral baithiyaan…." is still fresh in social memory. And it will remain so for all years to come. For, the melody Surinder Kaur struck was truly timeless, truly immortal.
May her soul rest in peace....
