Mohammad Nouri Musical artist

Mohammad Nouri (Persian: محمد نوری ‎) (December 22, 1929 – July 31, 2010) was one of the foremost folk and pop singers in Iran.Before 1979 uprising, Nouri was relatively little known among Iranian pop music lovers. Ironically enough, while most pop artists flew out of the country and continued their career, Nouri's music began to be appreciated among the young after 1979. For years, he had been neglected and enjoyed only a little bit of popularity among fans of pop music mainly because his was a special type of music--chore orchestral rather than popular. Not surprisingly, other than the few folk songs, his songs were mostly played on the state run radio and then only during odd hours. He was often heard during breaks on the Army broadcasting service shows.
