BADALTE HUYE SAATHI- Episode No. 6 (Hamida Bano sings with Shyamkumar)
—————————————————————————-

When I planned this series I knew that this subject is very vast and it was not possible to cover all major singers in such a short series. According to a source, from 1931 to year 2000, a total of about 7000 actors (male and Female) acted in Hindi Films in small and big roles. There must be atleast 1500 well known actors and the pity is, we do not have complete information on even 500 actors. For majority of actors, there are no Photographs ( remember, for a considerable time, how difficult it was to get a photograph of Shamshad begum or Madhubala Jhaveri ? ). So we know nothing about them except their names.

Badalte Huye Saathi – Episode 3 (Khursheed Bano- Surendra)
————————————
Khursheed, who dominated the 40s with her memorable songs, was about to leave India for Pakistan, after partition. By that time, she had become a major singing star of the industry and was singing with other major singing stars of that time. In the previous article, A rising Khursheed sang with a fading Vasanti. In the song under discussion, Khusheed, on the verge of bowing out from the industry, joins forces with another star actor singer of the time, viz- SURENDRA.

Badalte Huye Saathi- Episode 2 (Khursheed Bano and Vasanti)
———————————

We have seen, in the First episode of this series, how the initial Hindi film music was influenced by the local conditions. Same was the position for films made in Calcutta during that period. These film songs were totally influenced-nay depended on the Robindra Sangeet and the Nazrul geeti etc.

The Voice of Mukesh #59
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

At last I have been able to locate and acquire this song that has been pending in this journey of Mukesh songs, for quite some time. This song from 1948, could not be showcased earlier. There is one version available on the YouTube, but that is just one third of the song, only about one minute of play. (I have written about this behavior of some people, who will post partial songs online, and then wait for others to get in touch with them. There is a commercial angle involved here). Any way, I have now been able to get this song from another friend and fan of Mukesh.

Nainon se naina milaa ke – Song no. 7
—————————————-

Song no. 7 is once again a duet. I am not yet done with the duets from Rafi excel sheet. I was in two minds whether to have songs with ‘Ankhen’ ‘nigaahen’ and ‘nazaren’ also which match the theme. But the songs that have come my way having the ‘naina’ or ‘nainon’ are so endearing and similar yet with different flavour, that my hands are quite full.
