With the songs of Saigal Saab, there is an interesting phenomena; every time you listen to one of his renditions, the mind’s response is that there is nothing better than this soulful song or ghazal just heard.

When I look at the statistics for the blog, I find that there have been 13 singers,13 lyricists and 15 music directors who have completed their individual centuries of songs. Among the list of non centurions, I notice four music directors and three lyricists who have 50 + songs to their credits in the blog at present and they are next in line for their individual centuries. But when I look at the list of singers, I find that the singers who are closest to 100 songs mark are in their twenties and thirtees. K L Saigal is the closest to 100 and he is at 34. Next are Usha Mangeshkar, C Ramchandra, Amirbai Karnataki and Meena Kapoor.

“Dhoop Chaaon” (1935) was a milestone movie for Bollywood. It was the first movie where playback singing was used, though it was not the same as playback singing as it is known today. It then only meant that the actor could concentrate on acting during picturisation and he would get the song recorded earlier or later. The actor himself/ herself needed to sing of course.
