Hildebrand Ki Peshkash Geeta Ji Ke Kuch Nagme

That was the greatness of the kind souls.

BTW, It is difficult for me to understand why Geeta ji has so less duet songs with Kishoreda???

That could be because during Getta Dutt's hey days Kishore Kumar output as a singer was not as much as other singers. If I'm not mistaken, he has just around 15 duets with Lata till 1960, which will be as much as his duets with Geeta Dutt.

Oh, this could be possible. I never thought about this angle.

BTW, total no of duets (Hindi and Bengali) sung by Kishoreda and Geeta ji is 13 which includes 1 song which went into censor problems and was later re-recorded as a duet of Kishoreda and Asha ji (with different wordings of course).

Thanks Aditya

Uploading this song on request of Mahesh ji.

Hi Aditya

Any idea how many duets would Kishoreda have sung with Asha ji till 1960?

Regards
Parag

Must be huge! He probably had most songs with her and Shamshad in the 50s.

The other reasons could be that:
1) Kishoreda was not taking his career as a singer very seriously. In fact he sang a lot of songs for himself and Dev Anand in that era
2) The composers with whom Geeta ji worked and with those Kishoreda worked were not very common (except Burmanda)

May be some more reasons...

Parag, I don't have the exact number but has to the maximum among all female singers who sang with Kishore Kumar. But on the whole, till around 1960 Kishore Kumar only had roughly 200 songs to his credit, which is less than most of the legendary names that come to mind (Lata, Asha, Rafi, Geeta, Shamshad, Mukesh, Manna Dey...even Hemant Kumar, though I might be mistaken about that). I think Asha-Kishore duets during this period should be 50 at the max.

Incidentally, Asha Bhosle sang the maximum number of songs among all playback singer (male + female) in the 1951-60 period.
