Mohammad Nouri (Persian: محمد نوری, December 22, 1929 – July 31, 2010) was one of the foremost folk and pop singers in Iran. Before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Nouri was relatively unknown among Iranian pop music lovers mainly because his string orchestral pop tunes hardly fit for disco and party entertainment, not to mention little exposure and publicity efforts on his part. Some of his most famous songs include "Jaan-e Maryam," "Galaxy of Love," and "Iran Iran."
