Touraj Negahban has passed away at age 76 in Los Angeles, California. Iranian music owes so much to this man and the memorable lyrics he wrote for hundreds of favorite Iranian pop songs. Here's a program aired in his memory today on Sasan Kamali's program. Rest in peace.
And here is an excerpt of his regular TV program in which he recites a poem by Shahriar:
