Here is a song from film Sindbad the sailor-52.
The name of Sindbad will remind you the storybooks we have read in our childhood. Sindbad, Allauddin, Alibaba, Birbal-Akbar, Haatimtai, Gulebakavali, Vetal Pachhisi and many such books have entertained the growing children for many generations in the past. I do not know what today’s generation young children read. But then, do they read at all ? I guess these children see the stories on TV-not the ones I have mentioned here. Their Heroes are different.

Nightingale Noorjehan -9
———————————
I was searching for this song for long, as it was the only Noorjehan song from the 1946 ‘Dil’ that I had not in my ‘khajana’. I shouted on internet, hoping some music lover will come forward to help me. And pronto….. Our own Atul-ji, not only sent me the song, but also sent me the YouTube link where he had uploaded it. Soon, another Noorjehan fan and that too our own Vidur-ji sent me the MP3 song. So here I am with that song.

Mukesh and his Composers – 5
————————————
Remembering Mukesh (22 July 1923 – 27 August 1976) today (22 july 2015)on his 92nd birth anniversary.
The year 1958 was a turning point in the singing career of Mukesh. Though he had started his career nearly two decades back in 1940 and had some remarkable hits in late 40’s and early 50’s, his foray into acting-singing in the early fifties had some disastrous consequences which in my view affected his whole career in some way or the other. The first three posts in this series clearly show that his songs with those composers stopped sometime after 1949-50. And then there are huge gaps before he was called again by the same composers.

If we in this blog pride ourselves in the fact that we “dig” (literally and figuratively) old and obscure songs and share our findings, there have been other HFM lovers who have dug out information about lesser known artists from the past and brought them to limelight. Greta (Memsaab) has done a yeoman’s service in helping bring lesser known faces of Hindi movies to limelight. It is because of her amazing researches on lesser known artists that we now remember the names of artists like Nazir Kashmiri, Laxmi Chhaayaa, Bela Bose, Ted Lyons etc. In fact, I became aware of lead artists like Shakila, Shyama etc mainly because of her articles in her blog. This was in addition to her love for artists like Shammi Kapoor, Dara Singh, Ranjeet etc, of course.

Nightingale Noorjehan – 8
——————————
Looking back to the last two posted Noorjehan’s song, I feel sorry for HER that she does not have any ‘fans’ left now. With not a single comment there I could hear her painful calling her ‘fans’ “Aawaz de kahan hai?” I know the minority who liked ‘melodious and heart-touching songs, is on the verge of being ‘extinct’….. but so soon?
Any way following Geeta, (not the person but the scripture) I should continue ….. (Maa faleshu kadaachana …)
The song under discussion is a joyful song about the travel on the old time smoking train (another extinct object!) Moti’s voice is heard singing solo, duet and brief joyful ‘aalaaps’.
