In a career spanning 32 years,[2] Khan sang over 1,000 songs for Pakistan Television and movie soundtracks, in addition to performing traditional classical music across the world.
He had released this album from London...It was arranged in such a way that it had one classical piece, followed by a ghazal or a Punjabi folk song and then a popular number.
