“Abhi Naa Jaao Chhod Kar, Ke Dil Abhi Bharaa Nahin”.

The manner of expression, the selective emphasis, the slow measured pace of eloquence, the first rendering of this line – and the soft melody simply steals your heart away. And the mind wants to beseech the departed souls, to kindly tarry, and stay for a bit more, for the heart is not satiated as yet.

Ah, the crisp voice of Kamal Barot. A sound that is so unique, and then so attractive, in certain scenarios.
