Hi All
I am sure all the Geetaji fans are aware about the controversy regarding the song "Tum Jio Hazaron Saal" from Sujata. Here is one article I found on a newsgroup which states that Geetaji's version was released on a recod. Can any one confirm this ? Please upload if any one has this song..

So is the "sujaataa" song a similar case ? >Arunabha I hear them the same way as you on both. (Incidentally, "bachpan ke din" is also from 'Sujata'). The film has four female-singer songs, with lots of humming, aahaa_ing, and chorus voices all over! Two are clear solos: . havaa dheere aanaa (Geeta) and . kaali ghaTaa chhaae (Asha) "bachpan ke din" is credited as Geeta and Asha, but Arunabha is right: if it is a duet, it is a very lopsided one, with Asha coming in only for backgroudn vocals. "tum jeeyo hazaaron saal" has had a chequered P-statistical history. For a long long time, HMV persisted in crediting the singers as "Geeta and chorus", but what one heard on the recordings and the film soundtrack was mainly Asha's voice. I have an EMI (Pakistan) cassette, of perhaps 1980s vintage, that does the same. The first edition of the Geet Kosh for the decade of the 1950s lists two separate songs! One by Geeta and chorus (complete with HMV record number) and another by Asha and chorus, with no record number (such an entry normally implies a song that was recorded, perhaps used in the film, but for which no recording was released). The copy of the film I watched had only one instance of the song, which is identical to the recording. A fairly recent HMV cassette I bought (Sujata/Bandini) has rectified the egregious error. It attributes "tum jeeyo" to Asha and chorus. (It is a very desirable release; "jalte hai.n jis ke lie" has all three stanzas; and it includes the forgotten and forgettable Rafi song from the film; I don't even remember if the film had it!) The second edition of Geet Kosh for the 50s follows suit. It lists only one instance of the song, and attributes it to Asha and chorus. It also adds a footnote about HMV's error in attributitng it to Geeta for many years on their recordings. There are no "version" records listed for 'Sujata'. The story should have ended there, but one end is still loose! Arunabha is right. In "tum jeeyo", all the words are sung by Asha, as are some of the laughters and alaaps, there is quite a bit by chorus voices. In addition, there is brief alaap at two interludes by a voice very much like Geeta. It stands out because it is a single voice interlaced by chorus voices, but unmistakably not Asha. If it is Geeta (very likely), then it is a highly lopsided Asha-Geeta duet and SDB has maintained perfect symmetry between Geeta and Asha in the songs. The symmetry perhaps extends to the title music! (Unfortunately, the cassette doesn't carry it.) The title music extended portions consisting of alaap and humming by Asha. I don't know if I am imagining it, but I think the final movement of title music is humming of the "havaa dheere aanaa" tune by Geeta! Please give your cassettes/CDs/VCRs a whir and let me know what you think! Ashok Surajit A. Bose Apr 22 1998, 12:00 am show options Newsgroups: rec.music.indian.misc From: "Surajit A.

Hmm....I've never been able to hear any Geeta in this song. To me it has always sounded like Asha and chorus. But to further loosen an already loose thread: I remember an interview with Asha in which she counters accusations of a Mangeshkar monopoly. I read this in the early 1980s or thereabouts....she was talking about how she had to struggle to establish herself against Lata, Geeta, and Shamshad, and how she had sometimes to settle for just one song on a soundtrack while the other songs went to one of the other three. She said that SDB gave her "just one song with which to make an impact" in SUJATA, "kaalii ghaTa chhaye," with Geeta getting the rest. Not that Asha's interested memories are reliable.... -s shekhar Apr 21 1998, 12:00 am show options Newsgroups: rec.music.indian.misc From: shek...@emirates.net.ae - Find messages by this author Date: 1998/04/21 Subject: Re: Multiple versions of Lata/Asha solos Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse In article <353BC957.6CA1B...@nd.edu>, "Surajit says... >As for other such song versions, KK and Rafi have two well-known ones: "tum >bin jaauu.N kahaa.N" from PYAR KA MAUSAM and the title song from MUQADDAR KA >SIKANDAR.

I don't think the second version of the song is by Asha. I suspect that it is an error in the Geet Kosh. I first encountered this lovely composition of Avinash Vyas when I watched the videotape of the film. The film opens with this song. I might have been under the influence of Avinash Vyas's wonderful Geeta numbers from 'Har Har Mahadev' and 'Naag Mani'. I jumped to the conclusion that it was a Geeta song. I had featured the song in the series, "Songs Not Included In RJGK 28" and claimed the singer to be Geeta. The song occurs twice in the film, within a fairly short span of time. Kishore's first wife who used to sing the song is now dead and he has moved to a big city. He hears the song and is puzzled. The sequence seems to be just an add-on, as the film doesn't pursue it. The second version is slighly slower and somewhat smaller (3'20" rather than 4', and two stanzas rather than three). It didn't occur to me while watching the tape that the singer might be different from the first version. I was alerted to my error when, much later, I ran into a cassette, "Hits of Meena Kapoor". The first version of "ek dharti hai" was included in it. By then I had a copy of the first edition of the Geet Kosh. It confirmed that the first version was by Meena Kapoor. For the second version, the singer column was left blank, as was the column for the record reference number, hinting that the version was not released. The recently relased second edition of Geet Kosh does say that the second version is by Asha and chorus, with no release reference. I believe it is an error. Having been bitten once, I am reluctant to definitively identify the singer of the second version! I can't say if it is Meena Kapoor or not. I am, however, certain that if the singer is different, it is Geeta, not Asha. Also, there is no chorus portion in the video I saw. Asha is the main singer in the soundtrack, with three songs. Geeta is also there in the humourous duet with Kishore: "kamaataa hu.n bahut kuchh magar, kamaai Doob jaati hai". Folks, check out the video. It is an excellent soundtrack (has one of the early yodelling songs of Kishore: "tikDambaazi") and an early theme with a feminist twist. It got remade as 'Sweekar Kiya Main Ne' in the early 1980s, with Shabana Azmi and Vinod Mehra in the lead, with music by Usha Khanna. Ashok Reply Please visit www.geetadutt.com

I am Surprised Paragji.I have only this song with me.But I strongly feel that this is Geetaji.Pls check she hums 'hei hei' in between the actual lyrics.Anyway this is a group song.Asking for some other member who downloaded the song to clarify.I think it is not that much difficult since the song is very clear.

I have read an article on this song some few years past,and, if i remember right,there were 2 duet songs sung by Asha Bhonsle and Geetha dutt in the film Sujatha. In one of the song " bachpan ke din bi keya din " Geetha dutt sang the main song and Asha bhonsle did the humming,and, in the other duet song, " Tum jiyo hazaron saal saal ke din ho " it was Asha singing the main song and Geetha dutt humming. But the credit by mistake was given only to Geetha dutt by HMV,which was later rectified when Asha bhonsle protested. Hi Samarth Here is the correct version of the story : The birthday song "Tum Jio Hazaron saal" was first recorded in Geetaji's voice. It was released on the record as well. Later the same was recorded in Ashaji's voice. This was the version which was used in the movie. All these years, the song sung by Asha Bhosle was credited to Geetaji. The song what we see in the movie and on all the available records/cassette compliations etc is the version recorded in Ashaji's voice. Now, this is what I had asked for : The birthday song "Tum Jio Hazaron saal" which was first recorded in Geetaji's voice. This song is not in the movie and also not available on any of Geetaji's CDs/Cassettes. I hope I have made myself clear. Best Regards Parag P.S. By the way, it is Asha Bhosle who hums in the song "Bachpan ke din bhi kya din the" from the same movie Sujata. This song was sung by Geetaji. Please visit www.geetadutt.com

Paragji Pls make sure that I have uploaded the Geeta Dutt version(after hearing the song). regds Ashraf. Even I believe the vocals on this are Asha Bhonsle, the humming in parts sounds like Geeta Dutt but difficult to really say since in the early years Asha used to sound a bit like Geeta anyway. |
