The decade of the 1970s was when the significant transition happened in the Hindi film music, as the old order gave way to the new sounds. The number of music directors and singers with grounding in Indian classical music was dwindling, and the musical arrangements and the melodies were getting to be transformed, forever.

The Voice of Mukesh #7
— — — — — — — —
As we had progressed from 1941 to 1942, one duet song for Mukesh was so far missing from the posts, on account of this song being unavailable anywhere I had checked at that point in time. Well, since then, things have changed, and now I have been able to recently acquire an audio recording of this song which I am posting online today. I must thank Shri Pradeep Sharma ji of Delhi, who has been very kind to share this song with me. I came in touch with Pradeep ji, just about one week ago. And in our very first meeting, he shared with me that he is a Mukesh fan, and has most of the songs by this singer. I immediately asked him whether he had this song. He confirmed it spontaneously. Mind you, all this exchange is happening as we meet for the first time, have just said hello, and the only next sentence he had said that he is a Mukesh fan. All other detailed introductions and discussion on collections and singers and songs, happened later. The request for the song, the confirmation and the promise to send it, happened first. And the next day, the song was sitting in my mailbox.

I have discussed songs from “Insaaf” (1956) and “Insaaf” (1966) in the past. It appears that a movie of this title was released at every 10 years inerval those days, seeing that there was a movie with this title in 1946 too. 🙂

Songs by Non Singers
This is the 10th and the last song of the series- SONGS BY NON SINGERS.
For me it has been a very hectic fortnight involving a very busy schedule. Luckily, I was able to locate all the songs’ video and Audio on You Tube but not without the customary hiccups.
Collecting authentic information about old, fogotten artists was also very challenging. To get atleast 10 songs, I dug out about 30 songs from films of 30s to 70s.

“WOW” – the first reaction from my mind when I heard this song again after a very long time today. What a pleasant, delightful creation of joyous abandon this song is. One of those apparently never ending stream of gems that keep popping up from the most unexpected corners of this treasure house that we call the Hindi film music. Wow, what a song this is – a song that has stayed obscure. . . rather I would say, it has suffered obscurity for reasons that may never be completely understood. For why else would such wonderful creations of such bubbling music stay away from limelight and away from the listening pleasure of music lovers. I am sure you will believe my words when you hear it. And its obscurity is underscored by the fact that I was not able to locate it online, so far as I could search, and so I am posting this rare gem for my listener friends.

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.

We are born with whatever God has given us and we can not change it. Some are born handsome, some tall and some handicapped. Some are born with ‘silver spoon in their mouth’ and yet some are born with artistic inclination.
