Strange are the ways of Almighty. He blesses a select few with natural in-born talents and competencies. Talents of the levels that can only be reached when the person is touched by Him. And then, with a display of a brightness that promises to outdo the sun, raising expectations of more wonders to come, He calls them back to Him, belying the expectations, and leaving behind the wonder of possibilities that could have been. The promise of the sun reduced to a shooting star that disappeared too soon. Ghulam Haider, a name one can associate to such possibilities.

The Voice of Mukesh #15
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
With the previous post in this series, we stepped into Mukesh’s world of 1947. His popularity and demand continued to increase. In this year, he has recorded 20 songs for nine films. Compare this with 7 songs for five films in 1946. We do recall that 1945 was good year for him, as he struck a chord of good fortune and popularity with the iconic song “Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De”, and had recorded 8 songs for three films, seven of them for ‘Pehli Nazar’ and ‘Moorti’. So, after a slow year in 1946, Mukesh seems to be coming into his own in 1947.

When the system of playback singing started in Hindi films in early 30s it paved the way for playback singers like Rajkumari, Amirbai Karnataki, Zohrabai Ambalewaali and Shamshad Begum in becoming the top playback singers by 40s. With the emergence of new playback singers in the late 40s like Geeta Dutt and Lata Mangeshkar, demand for playback singers with heavy and high throated voices were on the decline, relegating them to the background. The only exception to this trend was Shamshad Begum who weathered the ‘onslaught’ of Mangeshkars in the 50s and remained fairly active up to early 60s.

I am delighted to find this song from Humaayun (1945), suggested by Kamath Sir. This is exactly the type of desert songs that I love. Since I have seen very few movies from the 40s, the chance of discovering such songs is very remote.
