Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 4
———————————————————

I have been looking for some rare songs which are generally not available on YT. Some of them are gems which are required to be brought to the notice of the wider section of the admirers of Hindi film music. Thanks to some of the collectors of old Hindi film songs and also thanks to internet technologies, such gems can now be stored in mp3 format and easily shared. One of the websites which has become a kind of a store house of old Hindi film songs in mp3 format is Dr Surjit Singh’s Website. With a large collection, the attendant problem is in searching for the required songs/films. One must be extremely patient in searching for the required songs or films as the records of mp3 clips have not been maintained in any particular order as of now.

This is her 100th writeup in the blog.

Exactly a year ago I had written out the lyrics for a song from “Uljhan” . The post to that was done by our Sudhirji. I am hundred percent sure that I couldn’t have done such a good post. In there he had mentioned that is was 29 years since Harihar Jethalal Zariwaala aka Sanjeev Kumar aka Hari Bhai left us. How soon one year has passed and it is now the 30th anniversary of this “switch on, switch off actor”. (I have borrowed this term from Sudhirji’s write up.)

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 3
———————————————————

The first time I heard the name of the film ‘Prarthana’ (1943) was sometime in 2012 when I wrote a short write-up on Jahanara Kajjan, singer-actor of 30s and 40s, for the Blog with her song tumre darshan ka nainaa taras gaye re in Raag Gaud. Since then, the only additional information I could get about this film was that it was a social genre film. The film’s VCD/DVD is not available.

Hullo to all in Atuldom

Recently I made a few discoveries. That without effort some of the artists reach centuries on our blog and we work towards finding unspotted songs of others and these artists are plodding their way towards reaching even their first 1000. For example Indeevar has only 192 out of a total 1875 song penned by him. Similarly Madan Mohan has 471 songs from his 630 among the music directors. Kishore Kumar has only 926 out his 2709 songs here on the blog. And hold your breath there are a whopping 2900 Lata songs (at her last century) and 2466 Rafi songs on the blog. So do we say (in Gabbar style) “bahut be insafi hai yeh” or do we say that we have been partial to these two or is it a case of chalte chalte they just reached these numbers without anyone’s knowledge. Whatever be the case in my own small way let me contribute to rectifying the situation.
