Today (22 july) is the birthday of Mukesh. This gives us an opportunity to dedicate the day for some as yet undiscussed Mukesh songs.
Mukesh had a singing career that began in 1941 with “Nirdosh” (1941) and he had a playback career lasting 26 years till he died in 1976. During his career, he sang around 800 songs in Hindi movies. We in this blog have already discussed 452 of them. So we are already more than halfway there. If we discuss the remaining Mukesh songs at the rare of one song daily and more on special occasions like his anniversaries, then I hope that we will be able to cover all remaining Mukesh songs by this date the next year.
