Biography
Singer Shahnaz Rahmatullah and actor Zafar Iqbal were Parvez's younger siblings.[5]
He composed the song "Joy Bangla, Banglar Joy" for the film Joy Bangla one night in October 1970. Gazi Mazharul Anwar wrote the lyrics, and it was recorded that same night on a monaural system at the International Recording Studio on Indira Road. When the Bangladesh Liberation War broke out next year and liberation forces set up the radio station Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra, "Joy Bangla, Banglar Joy" became the opening and closing song for their broadcasts.[6]
Altogether he composed about 2,000 songs and worked as a music director in about 200 feature films.[1][2]
He had two daughters and a son. He died on June 17, 2006 in Dhaka.[2]
