Badalte Huye Saathi (Episode 10th)(Mukesh sings with Lata Mangeshkar)
———————————————————————

I am of the firm opinion that sad songs are best sung by 1) Mukesh 2) Talat and 3) Hemant Kumar. Though I like Mohd. Rafi very much, he is not among the first 3 names for sad songs in my list. The pathos one finds in the voice of Mukesh in unmatched !

A very special song for Mohammad Rafi fans. This is what is real effortless singing. He makes it sound as if it is his ‘baayen haathh ka khel’. And it was his forte to seamlessly go from one mood to another, go from light, comic mode to qawwali, sounding quite serious and melodious and switch to western style, all in the space of less than a minute. If what I say does not make sense, than one can only listen to this song and confirm. What range and what smoothness of voice and diction. And adding the punjabi tadka too in a spoken line towards the end of the song.

Badalte Huye Saathi (Epiosde No. 9) ( Shamshad Begum sings with Mukesh)
———————————————————————————
To be a multi-lingual person is good. Knowing more languages-not just knowing, but speaking many languages has its own advantages. I had the built in advantage of having been born in a Multi-lingual state of Hyderabad. Starting with Urdu, I soon learnt Marathi(Mother tongue), Hyderabadi and Pure Hindi, Telugu and Kannada. Because of my father, I learnt Sanskrit, but could not master it, though I am well conversant in it. After coming to Bombay,I learnt Gujarati so well that I can read Gujarati papers, books and E Mails etc.

Nainon se naina milaa ke : Song No. 10
——————————————–

Here we are at the tenth and final song of the series ‘Nainon se naina milaa ke ‘. When I started this series, I had just three songs with similar mukhda’s one of which is the tenth song. The duet from ‘ Shahkaar ‘ and Geeta Roy solo from ‘Hamaari Manzil’ were the other two. So I had thought of keeping it short and sweet with these three songs.

30th march 2014 is the 14th death anniversary of prolific writer/lyricist Anand Bakshi. So I started on my research as to which songs I can send to Atul to post on this day. And I had actually zeroed in on a song for which there is a long standing demand from PCji in the farmaish section of ASAD. But I will not mention it here and save it up for a future occasion because I found another “Oh My God! What a rare find” song when I was shuffling through the pages of myswar.com.

Badalte Huye Saathi (Episode No. 8)(Shamshad Begum sings with Mohd. Rafi)
————————————————————————–
A few days back, I met one of my old colleagues after many years. After exchanging pleasantries, he asked me,” you look to be absolutely fit and fine. What are you doing these days ? ” I told him that I spend my time on Internet and that I write articles on old films and music. He looked at me with disbelief first and then with pity.

Nainon se naina milaa ke – Song no. 09
—————————————–
Here comes the song no. 9 of the series, which is the oldest song so far. I am actually indebted to Sudhir Kapoor Sir, for suggesting this song for the series. This was not available on youtube. Sir was kind enough to upload the song and he also provided the lyrics both in English and Hindi script.

Badalte Huye Saathi (Episode No. 7) (Shyam Kumar sings with Mohd.Rafi)
————————————————————————

Film Industry is truly a Maya Nagari. No one knows how the luck will change the course of one’s career in Film and Music world. Who would have thought that an ill-nourished looking, slim, imple girl, wearing an ordinary cotton saree, with torn kolhapuri chappals-who waited on an empty stomach for whole night for just one song from Ghulam Hyder-would one day become the undisputed QUEEN of playback singing in Indian Films ?….
