Talat Mahmood ((ヒンディー語:तलत महमूद), ) (February 1924 – 9 May 1998) is considered one of the greatest male non-classical and semi-classical singers of Indian sub-continent who conquered innumerable hearts and stirred countless souls with his beautifully soft silken voice and profoundly artistic subtle method of singing. He was a born singer with an intuitive sense of beauty, charm and grace. He was truly a legendary Indian playback singer. Although he tried his luck as a film actor, he couldn't succeed a great deal in acting. He had a good sense of acting, but the public of his day was more interested in listening to him than seeing him on the silver screen alongside the likes of, the infinitely sublime, ''Dilip Kumar'', the elegant, ''Ashok Kumar'', the charming, ''Raj Kapoor'', and the stylish, ''Dev Anand''. Talat received Padma Bhushan in 1992, in recognition of his profound artistic contributions in the spheres of cinematic and ghazal music. he had a unique, elegant and profoundly artistic style of singing.

He was particularly famous for singing soft and sombre semi-classical and non-classical ''ghazal''s, but the film songs sung by him are also considered critically flawless and outstanding. Although Talat's typical genre was Ghazal, but he was an astoundingly brilliant film singer who sung innumerable fantastic film songs. Romantic and tragic were the moods, he liked most and it was him who helped a great deal in shaping the style and method of modern ghazal singing. He can honestly be described as the real founder of modern semi-classical and non-classical ghazal. During the 1950s and 60s, Talat used to be the first choice of the high-brow literary and artistic community of Indian sub-continent, especially Urdu-speaking community. Even, his cancelled songs were immensely popular among them. No other singer had such intellectually high-class and learned audience at the time. Talat's voice has often been described as the softest male voice of Indian sub-continent, not only this, but his voice is also considered among the most soulful male voices ever heard in the Indian sub-continent. It is often said that Talat Mehmood is the name of a very valuable acquired taste, once one developed it, he would never seize to love and cherish it, and would grow fonder and fonder of it for the rest of his life.

Talat showed his musical leanings from a very young age and would enjoy sitting through all-night music soirees listening patiently to some of the biggest names in classical Indian music then. Coming from a conservative Muslim background, singing was not encouraged. Talat had to choose between working in films and staying at home.
