I have mentioned in the past that I intend to discuss all Sajjad Hussain songs in this blog that I could locate.

In this blog, I post songs mainly from the golden era of Hindi movie music spanning across three decades from 1950s to 1970s. The decades just prior to 1950s, viz 1940s and 1930s were where the decks were cleared for the golden era to commence Listening to songs from these two pioneering decades is an enriching experience as it helps us go down memory lane by more than six to seven decades back to an era when I was not born and even my parents were small kids at that time.

There are people who think that Asha Bhonsle mostly sang light songs (cabarat etc) and she did not sing “serious” songs or song based on classical raagas. Of course that is not correct. Most songs in Hindi movies are indeed based on some Raag. The singers and music directors, whether they are trained or not follow the framework of raagas, unless it is a western song that they are composing.
