Parag,

Excellent presentation, apart from the songs uploaded, it is a pleasure to just look at this thread.


A suggestion, in case you have that information, it would be nice to include the total number of duets she sang with each partner...

Hi All, a kind apology from my side.

I did not check the bit-rates of the files uploaded and in the process some 64 KBPS and some 192 KBPS files have been uploaded by mistake. Since I am at work at this moment, it is not possible for me to correct the same.

I kindly request Admin to give me time till today late evening so that I can correct the same.

I hope all the generous members will forgive me for this.


Thanks in advance
Parag

The required corrections to the files has been completed.

Cheers
Parag

Geetaji has sung a few duets with Suman ji. Unfortunately, all the other songs are rare and difficult to trace.
It would be great help if some one can share these songs.

Here is the thread for these songs :

17) Surendra : Bulbul ko mila phool (Kamal)

Surendra was promoted as a singing star in the era of late Kundan la Saighal sab. He did meet with some success in the late forties, but with strong emergence of playback singers like Rafi saab, it was difficult to hold the fort.

Geetaji has sung a few duets with Surendra ji in the 1950 movie Kamal and in a few more movies.

Lyricist(s) - Sahir

18) Ashok kumar : Sapera been bajayo re (Padmini)
In late forties, the playback singing was gaining strong holds, still some of the heroes did sing a few songs. This is probably (?) the only duet Geeta ji has sung with dadamoni Ashok Kumar ji.

The music was composed by the legendary MD Ghulam Haider sab. In my opinion, Geeta ji got to work with most of the legendary composers in late forties and early fifties.

Film - Padmini
Year - 1948
Lyricist(s) - Wali Saheb
Musician(s) - Ghulam Haider
Duration - 2.46 mins
Bitrate - 160 kbps

The duet presented here is a very sweet one from the movie Heer-ranjha.
