# Singer Yesudas’s Birthday #
————————————————————

Today 10th January 2025 is the eighty-fifth birthday of Singer Yesudas (born on 10.01.1940). As of now the statistics page on the blog doesn’t mention the total number of songs Yesudas has sung for Hindi movies. I am sure we will be adding these details soon with one of his songs here. In one of my earlier post I had given the filmography of Yesudas from his debut in Hindi films up to the year 1980. This figure has 84 songs from 52 films. So far, we have not even touched these 84 songs of him on the blog. That means we still have a long way to go before we can cover aa Yesudas songs. Today on his 85th birthday we have already covered two songs sung by him. I am adding one more to his tally today.

Today’s song is from India’s Milestone movie – Kisan Kanya-1937.

The year 1937 was a year of Revolution for the newly started Talkie Films. Initially the films were mainly based on Folk tales, Parsi dramas and Mythological stories. 1937 was a year in which the Film industry was trying to drop its old skin and don a New Avtar. From this year, a variety of subjects were used to make films. If we briefly look at some path breaking, landmark films using Novel themes, we will understand how the film industry was attempting to change itself.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
—————————————————————

Today on 24th December 2024 we are celebrating the birth centenary of the legendary singer Mohd Rafi. He was born on 24th December 1924. On this occasion we are presenting songs sung by Mohd Rafi. Initially I was looking for Rafi songs remaining to be posted from the decade of forties i.e. 1941-1950 and I decided that later on I will move simultaneously 50s to 80s. I even had couple of movie-titles noted for this purpose. However it so happened that the songs I presented so far are the songs from movies where Rafi Saab had sung only one song or a movie like ‘Alakh Niranjan’ which have more than one Rafi song, but none of these was posted still on the blog. As the day progressed we saw Rafi songs from the decade of ‘sixties’ and ‘seventies’ have already come up. So I am not sure if I am going to take songs from the 60s, 70s or 80s now.

Today’s fun song is from the film ‘Kunwara Baap’ (1942).

The first reaction after reading the title of the film will be Mehmood’s film of 1974 having the same title. But rest assured today’s film was made in 1942 and had a different story. Mehmood’s film was based on an incurable disease – Polio, suffered by a child and it had a touch of pathos, creating sympathy and allied feelings. But ‘Kunwara Baap’ of 1942 was a fun film.

I have mentioned it several times that after posting the century post in the blog, I heave a huge sigh of relief and start relaxing, secure in the knowledge that the next century post was far far away. But the next century post occasion arrives way earlier (it seems to me) than expected. It demonstrates that posting 100 articles is not such a daunting task if one just avoids DOT days and posts one or two articles in a day.

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Debutant Movie)

“Agar abhee naa to phir kabhee naa …” that is what I thought on listening to this today’s song. Since I want to see it here on the blog as early as possible, I am sharing it a couple of days after I came across it. This song is from the movie ‘Chor Ho To Aisaa-1978’. The music for this movie was composed by R.D. Burman. So, this is the third movie after ‘Jeewanmukt-1973’, and ‘Ujaalaa Hi Ujaalaa-1974’ where the music for the movies was composed by R.D Burman and they were missing from the blog till I introduced them here. I was under the impression that all movies, at least from the ‘seventies’’ where music composer was R.D. Burman have already got represented on the blog. That is why it comes as a surprise whenever I come across R.D. Burman of 1970s that are not yet represented in the blog.
