July 17th is the death anniversary of Kanan Devi (22/04/1916-17/07/1992). I had written an article for this blog on her last birth anniversary. So I will not go into her profile.

Sahir Ludhianvi, probably took a hint from her when he started demanding one rupee more than that paid to the music directors.

While searching for this song, I was unable to find that song. But on the other hand I located another, and even older song with similar lyrics.
