Fereydoon Foroughi

Fereydoon Foroughi (Persian: فریدون فروغی; 29 January 1951 – 5 October 2001) was an Iranian singer, musician and composer.

He contributed greatly to Iranian music and arts and his unique voice and style soon caught on with the people.

He started playback work in 1971 with the film Adamak directed by Khosrow Haritash, who realized that he had found the person he was looking for sing.

As a result, Fereydoon performed two songs titled "Adamak" and "Parvaneh Man" ("My Butterfly") with the music of Touraj Shabankhani and the lyrics by Labat Vala.

After the release of the film, the 45-page pages of these two songs will be offered in famous stores such as Al Cordobs, Pop, Disco, Beethoven and Pars.

Although he was criticized at the time for imitating Farhad's voice, he was no longer overshadowed by the name of his beloved singer, Ray Charles.

This collaboration leads to produce songs such as "Zendoone Del" ("Prison of the Heart") and "Sorrow of Loneliness" with poems by Arash Sezavar and composed by William Khno, the former of which makes Foroughi an artist of style.

After that, he performed the song "Hamisheh Ghayeb" ("Always Absent") with a lyrics by Shahyar Ghanbari, music by William Kheno and arrangement by Varoujan Hakhbandian.

In 1977, after the announcement of political open space by the government, Foroughi released his third album called the Sale Ghahti after a two-year ban.

He was buried in the village of Qurqurak Buin Zahra in Qazvin, next to small ponds, in the shadow of a large mountain and in the tranquility that he had been waiting for years.
