Rolling Back The Years With Lata Mangeshkar

hmm. the reason is because this song and even " jiya ho jiya kuchh bol do" were

already recorded by rafi saab and shankar-jaikishen made her sing in same pitch. that's why the effect.

but still it is much appreciated song.

Moving on to 1963:

Ae Dilruba - RUSTOM SOHRAB 4:15
Har Aah Asqbaar Hai - KINARE KINARE 3:31
Khuda-e-bartar - TAJ MAHAL 2:59
Main Jagoon Saari Rayn - BAHURANI 3:16
Mann Re Tuhi Batha Kya Gaoon - HUMRAHI 3:26
Mere Mehboob Tujhe - MERE MEHBOOB 4:41
O Jadugar Pyari Ke - EK DIL SAU AFSANE 4:08
Pankh Hoti Toh Ud Aati Re - SEHRA 4:29
Ruk Ja Raat - DIL EK MANDIR 3:36
Sambhal Toh Le Dil Diwana - PHOOL BANE ANGARE 4:14
Woh Jo Miltey Thay Kabhi - AKELI MAT JAIYO 3:13
Zindagi Kitni Khubsoorat Hai - BIN BADAL BARSAAT 3:11

1963... so many wonderful songs..

Bedardi dagaabaaz ja BLUFFMASTER 3:03
Hum tere pyar me DIL EK MADIR
Jane kahe jiya/ chali aaj gori - GODAAN 3:26/4:46
Jogi jabse/ mora gora ang BANDINI 2:58/3:17
jurm-e-ulfat pe hume log sazaa- TAAJ MAHAL 3:27
Raat bhi hain kuchh bheegi bheegi - MUJHE JEENE DO 4:18

I need to listen again to the GODAAN numbers, but all the others are excellent additions. Thanks!

"chalii aaj gorii" is truly wonderful; "jaane kaahe jiyaa moraa Dole" is not quite in the same class. And while on Taj Mahal, the best choice would be the rarely heard "Khudaa-e-bartar terii zamii.n par". I had uploaded it on HF ages ago - can u/l again if required.

Warm regards,
Abhay

Thanks, august. Very helpful reminder! I've added these to the list of songs to be added.

Unnji great list.
Please add this beauty too on your list.

Haule Haule Jiya Dole - Kaise Kahoon - S.D.Burman - Shakeel Badayuni

Thanks for reminding me of another lovely number!

Another great list Unni, reminds me to make an addition to your 63 list:

LP launched themselves that year with two films, Harishchandra Taramati and Parasmani:
Some solos from the films:
Main Ek Nanha Sa
Meghwa Gagan beech
Oui Ma Oui Ma
Mere Dil Mein Halki Si


Some suggestions for 64:
Bumper year for MM: Haqeeqat, Aap Ki Parchhaiyan, Pooja Ke Phool, Sharabi, Suhagan, Woh Kaun Thi
Pooja Ke Phool: Meri Aankhon Se Koi Neend Liye Jata Hai

SDB: Ziddi and the underrated Kaise Kahoon:
Ziddi: Ye Meri Zindagi Ek Pagal Hawa
Kaise Kahoon: Apart from the beautiful "Haule Haule", the title song "Kaise Kahoon"

Roshan: Chitralekha: ''Aye Re Jaane Na Doongi"/ Sakhi Re mera Man

Solid output from the SJ camp: Sangam, Aaye Milan Ki Bela, Apne Hue Paraye, April Fool, Beti Bete, Jwala, Sanjh aur Savera and Zindagi

Sangam: Main Kya Karoon Ram Mujhe Buddha Mil Gaya
Aayi Milan Ki Bela: Main Kamsin Hoon
Apne Hue Paraye: Bahar Ban Ke Woh Muskuraye/Maine Bulaya aur tum chale aaye
Beti Bete: Aaj Kal Mein Dhal Gaya
Saanjh aur Savera: O Sajna More Ghar Angana

KA: Ishaara: Dil Bekaraar Sa Hai, humko khumaar sa hai

LP in their second year had an interesting list of films Mr X in Bombay, Dosti, Sati Savitri, Sant Gyaneshwar, Aaya Toofan, of which the first three, interestingly, showcased a single singer :
Mr. X in Bombay was Kishore's show with two Lata solos(Julmi Hamare Sawariya/Ye Rang-e-Mehfil)
Dosti was Rafi all the way with one beautiful Lata solo(Gudiya Hamse Roothi Rahogi)
Sati Savitri: Five Lata solos and the beautiful duet with Mannadey "Tum Gagan Ke Chandrama Ho"
Sant Gyaneshwar: Lata version of "Jyot Se Jyot"

Thanks for these suggestions. Valuable, indeed!

The songs of "HARISHCHANDRA TARAMATI" and "PARASMANI" were popular in their day, but I'd hesitate to include them in a collection of Lata-ji's most memorable.

"Meri Aankhon Se Koi Neend Liye Jata Hai" from "POOJA KE PHOOL" has already been included.

I've made a note to add "Ye Meri Zindagi Ek Pagal Hawa" from "ZIDDI", plus "Haule Haule" and the title song from "KAISE KAHOON".

From "CHITRALEKHA" I'd retain only "Sansaar Se Bhagey Phirtey Ho", even though ''Aye Ree Jaane Na Doongi" and "Sakhi Re Mera Mann" are well-known songs.

Just for the sake of variety, YES to "Main Kya Karoon Ram Mujhe Buddha Mil Gaya" from "SANGAM", even if Lata-ji herself might not approve of it! (For later years I've included at least two cabaret numbers).

"Main Kamsin Hoon" from AAYI MILAN KI BELA" and "Bahar Ban Ke Woh Muskuraye" from "APNE HUE PARAYE" could both be included. I need to listen again to "Maine Bulaya aur tum chale aaye".

"Aaj Kal Mein Dhal Gaya" from "BETI BETE" is already in the collection. Grateful for reminding me about "O Sajna More Ghar Angana" from "SAANJH AUR SAVERA".

"Dil Bekaraar Sa Hai" from "ISHAARA" also merits inclusion.

Frankly, I wouldn't include Lata-ji's solos from "MR. X IN BOMBAY".

Nice though the song is, "Gudiya Hamse Roothi Rahogi" from "DOSTI" seems too simple/ordinary for a collection of Lata-ji's best.

I skipped the beautiful "Tum Gagan Ke Chandrama Ho" from "SANT GYANESHWAR" but it would feature in a whole separate collection of her most memorable duets! Somehow, at least to me, "Jyot Se Jyot" is identified with Mukesh-ji!
