The Voice of Mukesh #7
— — — — — — — —
As we had progressed from 1941 to 1942, one duet song for Mukesh was so far missing from the posts, on account of this song being unavailable anywhere I had checked at that point in time. Well, since then, things have changed, and now I have been able to recently acquire an audio recording of this song which I am posting online today. I must thank Shri Pradeep Sharma ji of Delhi, who has been very kind to share this song with me. I came in touch with Pradeep ji, just about one week ago. And in our very first meeting, he shared with me that he is a Mukesh fan, and has most of the songs by this singer. I immediately asked him whether he had this song. He confirmed it spontaneously. Mind you, all this exchange is happening as we meet for the first time, have just said hello, and the only next sentence he had said that he is a Mukesh fan. All other detailed introductions and discussion on collections and singers and songs, happened later. The request for the song, the confirmation and the promise to send it, happened first. And the next day, the song was sitting in my mailbox.

Songs by Non Singers
This is the 10th and the last song of the series- SONGS BY NON SINGERS.
For me it has been a very hectic fortnight involving a very busy schedule. Luckily, I was able to locate all the songs’ video and Audio on You Tube but not without the customary hiccups.
Collecting authentic information about old, fogotten artists was also very challenging. To get atleast 10 songs, I dug out about 30 songs from films of 30s to 70s.

You must have heard the famous quotation,”Politics is the last resort of a scoundrel”. Though it is not true in ALL cases,it is used since long.
Similarly, the last resort of young boys who ran away from homes to Bombay in the 30s and 40s (and may be even today) was Hindi Films. For a growing Film industry there was a need for actors, singers, writers, technicians etc. Quantity was always available but quality was questionable. This field did not attract the educated gents from good families. So, whenever any educated i.e. a Graduate joined the industry, he was most welcome and he too would flaunt his degrees proudly. Thus you had a Lyricist named Moti,B.A. and Miss Kamal,B.A. in those days.
