The Voice of Mukesh #6
——————————
‘Pehli Nazar’ (1945) proved to be the take off film for Mukesh. Of course, the iconic “Dil Jalta Hai. . .” needs no introduction. The phenomenal longevity of this song did two things. First, it established Mukesh as a singing icon, to be reckoned with. And secondly, it put in shade the remaining songs of this film, which are now remembered only by the real die hard aficionados of Mukesh’s voice. The pathos and the depth of emotion that is subsumed in “Dil Jalta Hai. . .”, is without doubt matchless. But then, the other songs in this film are no less a delight, in their own rights.

Presently, I am on a nostalgic journey of the 60s when I was blessed with listening to some popular non-filmy songs sung by the top playback singers and other singers of that time. In fact some of non-filmy songs of that time were as popular as Hindi film songs. Almost all top playback singers of that time like Talat Mehmood, Mohammed Rafi, Manna Dey, Mukesh, Geeta Dutt, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle had recorded non-filmy songs at one time or the other. If Hindi films songs have hidden gems which are being unearthed on this blog every day, there are also lesser known gems in non-filmy song segment which need to be brought to the notice of the readers of this blog for the sake of posterity.
