Abstract
In this chapter I shall attempt to examine the way in which the creative vocalists had an influence on music. The changes in music caused by the musicians often stood in relation to the social changes. Especially the rise of a different kind of audience was cleverly capitalized upon by those musicians who understood that this audience wanted a different kind of music. Thus, both Omkarnath Thakur and Abdul Wahid Khan reached great fame in spite of the fact that their music was quite unorthodox.1
