Iraj Khajeh Amiri Dies at 94: Legendary Singer and “Champion of Singing” Passes Away
Iraj’s Entry Into Iranian Cinema
Although Iraj was already established as a radio singer, Iranian cinema provided another enormous platform for his voice.
His singing began appearing in films during the development of commercial Iranian cinema.
This created a new phenomenon.
Audiences could hear a famous singer while watching a popular actor perform on screen.
In many cases, the actor would lip-sync the song while the singer remained unseen.
This practice created a unique relationship between voice and image.
Iraj became one of the most successful singers in this environment.
