I have remarked in the past that “Bhakt Surdas” (1942) is a treasure of great K L Saigal songs. Correction- It has great songs, not just by the great man, but also by the female lead of the movie. Yes, Khurshid, the female lead of this movie also shines with her singing in this movie.

In my younger days, K L Saigal was a “boring” singer, but now I can not have enough of K L Saigal songs. I find listening to K L Saigal songs a divine experience these days, as it reminds me of those days several decades ago, when most radios in India would play radio Ceylon in early mornings. 7-30 to 8 AM was the most “boring” period on Radio Ceylon, as it was during this time that “puraani filmon ke geet” were played, culminating into a K L Saigal song as the last song.
