A hundred songs ! Given that the film industry generates many thousands of songs every decade, a hundred songs is a small number. But these hundred are special. These hundred belong to a very exclusive set of a total of 185 songs. And this exclusive set is the musical fortune, each song a jewel studded with priceless gems. Available for the pleasure of all, yet this treasure is a mine of gold and diamonds. Priceless, for this is all that is. There cannot be any more additions to these jewels. Yes, I refer to the recorded legacy of Saigal Saab – a list of 185 recordings in all. Of these, 110 belong to Hindi films, 37 are non filmi songs, in Hindi / Urdu. Of the remaining, a set of 30 recordings are part of Bengali cinema, and the remainder are in other languages (Punjabi, Tamil, Persian). So yes, this blog now hosts 100 of the total of 147 renditions (in Hindi/Urdu) by Saigal saab. An important accomplishment and an occasion to celebrate. Congratulations all.
