The experiences of listening to songs sung by different singers are different. When one listens to a song sung by Mukesh, one expects a song that one would begin to hum as soon as one listens to it. One also expects the fabled Midas touch of Mukesh in full flow which ensured that most songs sung by Mukesh became popular.

In late 1970s, I had watched a movie called “Dada”. In that movie, Amjad Khan, then typedcast as Gabbar Singh following his role in “Sholay” (1975) played a baddie who turns over a new leaf thanks to a young blind girl (whose father he has murdered). this movie moved the audience a lot. The movie went on to become a reasonable hit. Vinod Mehra and Bindiya Goswami were the hero and heroine of this movie, but Amjad Khan was the real star of the movie.

During late 1960s and early 1970s, when I was a young kid, I hated the time period between 7-30 AM to 8 AM, because it was during this time that “Puraani filmon ke geet” programme was played on the air by Radio Ceylon. In this programme, songs from 1930s, 1940s and even 1950s were played. The singers were often names that I had never heard of. And their singing styles were found amusing by kids like me.
