Mohammad Nouri (singer)

Mohammad Nouri (Persian: محمد نوری ‎) (December 22, 1929 – July 31, 2010) was one of the foremost folk and pop singers in Iran.

Early in his career, Nouri enjoyed some degree of popularity among chore orchestral music lovers. His tunes were often serious and thought-provoking, hardly palatable, though, for the young and old pop music lovers who admired stage and special event performers, such as Viguen and a host of others. Nouri held his chosen career in such high esteem and refused to be ranked among pop singers who were mushrooming during 60's and 70's perhaps because he observed how they often stooped to degradation that ordinarily money and fame imposed on the arts, not to mention hasty fast buck lyrics. Not surprisingly, other than the few folk songs, his album tunes were mostly played on public radio and then only during odd hours though somewhat regularly during breaks on the military radio shows.
