HFM songs can be divided into hundreds of categories. What category of songs appeal to us depend on our long term conditioning (temperament) as well as on out short term frame of mind (mood). There are occasions when even people with positive outlook and cheerful disposition feel low. Under such circumstances, some people (depending on their temperament)like to listen to sad melancholic songs and drown in their sorrow in various ways, by withdrawing into their shell, taking to drinking etc. What one needs under such circumstances are songs that enable to to look at the silver linings in the dark cloud and lift your morale by telling you that the setback faced is temporary and brighter days are just round the corner. In other words, you need to listen to songs that inspire you to get back on your feet and get ready to take on the challenges that life has to offer.

Rajkumari and Amirbai Karnataki were among the leading female playback singers of 1930s and 40s. Both of them started their filmy careers around 1934-35 and also acted and sang songs in the films on themselves. Curiosity led me to check as to who had sung more Hindi film songs among them. So I checked the number of Hindi film songs sung by Amirbai Karnataki and Rajkumari during their careers from http://www.myswar.com. Since this website gives the details of songs only from the year 1941 onward, it was not possible to get the total number of songs sung by them in their entire filmy careers. Nonetheless, I felt that within this limitation, one should get a fair assessment of their contributions to Hindi film songs. As per these data, Amirbai Karnataki sang a total (solo, duets etc) number of 302 songs while Rajkumari sang a total of 387 songs during 1941 and onward. On this basis, I would guess that Rajkumari may have sung more Hindi film songs then Amirbai Karnataki.

Here is a bicycle song from an obscure movie called “Zamaana” (1957). The song is picturised on Ameeta and Kamaljit (later better remembered as Waheeda Rehman’s husband). This song is a duet, mostly sung by Asha Bhonsle, with some male voice too. I have no idea about the male voice. It sounds like G M Durrani, but then he was no longer around in 1957 I think. The singer could well be Kamaljit himself. (PS- I have later read somewhere that it was Kamaljit himself).
