Non-Film Songs of Mukesh – 04
————————————————
A hat-trick of short songs and shorter posts.

For Mukesh’s Remembrance Day on 27 August 24, due to paucity of time, I had sent this short song from Sangam (1964).

Then, I happened to stumble upon another rare rendition by Mukesh from the film Duniya Na Maane (1959).

Another quick and a short one. I mean both the post as well as the song.

Duniya Na Mane (1959) is already yipped on the blog. Readers will be well aware that the film was composed by Madan Mohan. I have covered all songs of Mukesh for the composer in this post.

On the afternoon of August 27, 1976, in Detroit city of America and at Hotel Pontchartrain to be precise, Mukesh had a massive heart attack and passed away on his way to the hospital. Less than a mile away at Ford Auditorium, he was supposed to perform his last concert of his 1976 US tour. But it was not to be.
A copy of his beloved Ramayan and his self-assurance that his son would continue his legacy were with him when he passed away.

On his remembrance day today, we pay tributes to Mukesh who passed away with his boots on.

Remembering Mukesh on his birthday, today 22 July.

As most of my posts feature Mukesh, many of my views on his songs could sound cliches. But then there is so much to write on his voice as words fail every time an attempt is made. There are songs on various aspects, emotions and circumstances one faces in life. I could stick my neck out and say that even many of his sad songs bring joyful solace to the heart. For, the voice sans the music and even the literal meaning of the lyrics feels as if a divine entity is trying to convey the many facets of life.

Continuing with the series, we introduce the works of composer Madholal Damodar Master’s association with Mukesh. Well, the composer’s name doesn’t seem to be very familiar, but he has his own place, fame and history in the annals of pioneering days of HFM.

24 February 2024 marked the birth centenary of legendary singer and actor Talat Mahmood. Born on 24 Feb 1924, he passed away on 09 May 1998 at the age of 74. This write up was planned to coincide with the Birth centenary, but the article got delayed. The remembrance day today (9 May 1998) offers us another opportunity to pay our tributes to Talat Mehmood (24 Feb 1924-9 May 1998).

Mukesh and his Actors – 01
——————————————-

Well, the Halley’s comet is back on the blog.
So much so that it did not feature in nearly two centuries of latest posts. Reasons? Aren’t they cliches already on the blog?
Incidentally, speaking of the real macro universe comet itself, it last appeared in 1986 and is expected to pass by the pale blue dot next in July 2061. Second week of December this year, it reached the farthest point from the sun known as aphelion, thus beginning its journey towards the inner solar system.

So, the date for sighting arguably the most famous comet is set for July 2061 for earthlings alive then.

Coming back to the blog, we start with a new series Mukesh and his Actors. This has been a task which I had been contemplating for years and remained a non-starter mainly because I could not decide as to which actor, I should take up for the debut post.

Mukesh and his Composers – 30

Mukesh,
• A name that will remain etched in active memory of HFM lovers.
• A voice that will continue to enthrall the inner souls.
• A legend whose immortality will last for several generations to come.
Remembering a noble soul who passed away on this day 27 August 1976, in Detroit city of America. And, even though he departed nearly half a century ago, this year has been unique as his birth centenary was celebrated on 22 July.
Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi also tweeted.

Non-Film Songs of Mukesh – 03

Today, 22 July 2023 marks the birth centenary day of Mukesh Chand Mathur who was born in Delhi a hundred years ago.

His wiki page gives a fair information of his life and 36 years of film career which as we are all aware is mainly as a playback singer. In the initial part of his career he also acted, produced, and composed. However, his role as a playback singer put him high up on a pedestal as one of the greatest singers of all times. A singer whose very name brings to fond memories some of the exceptional songs that he rendered. A voice which touched the inner chords of human soul. A voice which we can easily associate and link to our daily lives. For sincerity, dedication and total submission to singing is what his voice is all about. Almost every song of his is a bhajan in my view as the voice was beyond the materialistic world and has one or the other facet of life covered. My song for this special post which we shall come up a bit later is a testimony to this view.

Of all the great film and NFS songs Mukesh sang in his 36 years career, the above 6 songs stand tall, apart and have their own significance. For these were sung by a young Mukesh all of 16 or 17 years of age.
