Shuklas, one solo of Lataji- from Aao Pyar Karein (1964) -Tamannaon ko khilne do--, is posted under the thread - "Lata's Classics"

A duet -from same film-Tum akele to kabhi baagh me -by Md.Rafi & Lata posted in the thread "Rafi Classics"
Mohd.

Shuklas,

Here's one I like from Aao pyar karen (1964), sung by Lata
Ek sunehri shaam thi, behki behki zindagi
Raah mein hum tum mile, meri palkon ke tale
Aashiyan tera ban gaya

Music of Usha Khanna and lyrics of Rajinder Krishan

Enjoy !

Sri

Madan Mohan and Lata Mangeshkar - a well known and fabulous combination !! Here's one such classic from one of Madan Mohan's later years, from the film Dil ki rahen (1973).

"Rasm-e-ulfat ko nibhayen to nibhayen kaise
har taraf aag hai daaman ko bachaen kaise"
lyrics of Naqsh Lyalpuri

The track begins with a small speech by Madan Mohan ( from one of his radio programmes). This is a very typical Madan Mohan composition which has his style stamped all over it. Listen to the lovely sitar interludes and the sitar music at the end - all played by Rais Khan, who used to play regularly for Madan Mohan. A few years later, Madan Mohan, apparently feeling insulted by something that Rais Khan had said, dropped him from his music. In fact he dropped the sitar itself from his compositions.... and for Mausam, his next film at that time, he switched completely to the flute with a background of strings. And, what fantastic music and orchestration he produced with 'Dil dhoondta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din' !!

Such monumentally great composers we had in those days ...

Anyway, enough of my speech ... now enjoy the song!

Sri

next song on this thread will be a duet with Mohd. Rafi

STOP PRESS !!
sorry ...changed my mind about the duet I was about to upload... because I came across this TRULY LOVELY and RARE song, which I thought I must immediately share with all of you

Tuhi Shyam mera - from the film Panchayat 1958 (starring Raaj Kumar, Manoj Kumar, Shyama and Nasir Hussain) with music by IQBAL QURESHI ( his first film ) and lyrics by SHAKEEL NOMANI
Words are :
Main gun gaoon tera, tuhi shyam mera
jale jyot jag mein, mere ghar andhera, tuhi shyam mera

Enjoy this melody, sung so beautifully with so much feeling, by Lata !
This will surely be a gem in my collection.

Sri

To, All contributors
great up loads and thanks a million, they are rare ones and took me down memory lane ( jeene wale zoom ke is an example)
I have heard the folowing very few times I do not the wordings or any details any way here it is

"Ye neer kaha se ayee, badara------ by lataji

i rememember a Nirupa roy movie"Muskurao ke jee nahi lagata, aa bhi jaao ke jee nahi lagata"

and I do remember "ghar aaja ghir aayee badara sawarian

Thanka again

Keshav

Lata fans ...don't forget to check out post # 57 - song from the film Panchayat 1958

Sri Bhai...Rais Khan had a very long association with O P Nayyar saab, much more than
any other music director. You will find many of the Nayyar saab's song with Sitar taking the
centre stage amongst from all the other instruments that nayyar saab have used beautifully
in his songs. Alas this is Lataji's forum and there is no song of this combination
(Lataji and Nayyar Saab) in the Indian film music.

mahesh - thanks for the info
..and yes, the fact that Lata and OPN never got together will always remain a loss for HFM. But then, if they had also worked together like all the others did.... who knows, we may have lost all the Asha - OPN gems that we were blessed with in the 60s !!

by the way...how do you find the Lata song in Panchayat - Tuhi shyam mera?

Sri

This is a beautiful song. Based on the songs that I know, I would rank this as the best
song in the Lata/Usha Khanna partnership. I believe the Lata songs from "Hum hindustaani"
were popular, but I think none of them come close to this song or the other solo from
this film "TamannaoN ko khilne de". Thanx for a good recording of this song.

Lata is just superb in this song. Last night, while flipping thru channels, I came across
one of those shows where singers are given training. I think this is related somehow to
Ismail Darbar (in fact, he may have been the guy coaching). This girl was trying to
sing "Na ja mere humdum". And she seemed good enough. But the coach was trying
to explain to her that this was a Lata song and had to be handled with the appropriate
delicacy. As he explained to the girl how to do it, she failed several times. When she
finally sang it on stage, she had managed to tone down the rough edges but in the
process, the life also went out of the song. And that is when one realizes what the
Mangeshkar sisters are able to achieve, and why they epitomize the best in their craft.
And the 2 Lata solos from this film show just how magnificently Lata provides delicacy
to a song.



I am really looking forward to listening to "Alvida jaan-e-wafa meri manzil aa gayi".
Any copy of the film that I have ever seen has not had this song. Don't know if it
was included in the film or not. Anyway, I have heard about this song, but never
heard it myself. Is it on the "Benazir" CD??

sangeetbhakt - thanks for your great comments.
about the song 'alvida jaan-e-wafa' - i somehow thought these words were connected with the last song of the film when meena kumari dances for the last time in the story and dies ... but that song in the film is 'gham nahin jo zindagi veeraan hai' and these words do not appear - in any case the last song is an Asha Bhosle number and not Lata's. So my fault for misleading on this issue .... there is no song with these words in the CD of the film. Earth music also lists a Rafi song 'le gayi ek haseena' - this song is also not to be found

Sri

I do believe the song was recorded for this film and somebody who has
heard it says that it is a really lovely one. But as it is not in the film
itself and not on the CD, it is hard to come by. Perhaps Dharamvir-ji
or Mahesh have it???

As promised in another thread here's Pyar ki dastan from Faraar (1965). Music : Hemant Kumar, Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi. 3:16 mins @ 128. This madhur love story was uploaded many moons ago by the Shuklas (if memory serves me right). I have edited it and uploaded it once since, here it is again - hope the sound is good for you Sri ji

thank you Tji..........

thanks a lot - sounds quite ok - edited for tape hiss ?? sri

I expect so, I don't quite remember.

Talaikya

Thanks Talakiya for edited upload.Indeed its lot better. Wondering if any one has CDQ please upload.May be Mohd.Saab might have it. We look forward to have re-load.

(Source www)
After the great success of classical music of Baiju Bawara (1953), Naushad had already won the admiration of the famous producer V. Shantaram. In 1953, when Shantaram was planning to produce his most famous film Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje , he initially invited Naushad to compose music for this film. At this time, Naushad already knew that great music director Vasant Desai was already an employee of Shantaram's Rajkamal studios. Naushad thanked Shantaram for the offer. But after a few minutes of chat, pointed out that when music director of the caliber of Vasant Desai was already available in Rajkamal Studios, it would be appropriate that Shantaram offer this film music to Vasant Desai. He also stressed that Vasant Desai was fully capable of giving classical based music. So Naushad was noble enough to forego the opportunity to compose music for Shantaram's film. After coming to know about this incident, next day, Vasant Desai, with tears in his eyes, personally came to Naushad and thanked him for this noble gesture. We all know that Vasant Desai did a wonderful job in composing classical based music for the film Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje.

From JJPB - O suno suno ji more rasiya man basiya, kuchh kuchh tumse bole ankhiyan. Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri. It's a CD rip and sounds restored. How much restored, I can't tell.

Sri ji - I am not by any means qualified to judge the rarity or otherwise of this one, do forgive me if it doesn't belong here.

Zippoo ji - was the sar pitaii worth it??

Sorry Shuklas, I have checked the version I have, its same as the one uploaded by Talaikya-ji.

Mohd.

For Lata Mangeshkar's 76th birthday, here's a relatively rare number which I like a lot :

Mera dil baharon ka woh phool hai,
jise gulsitan ki nazar lag gayi

from the film 'Adhi raat ke baad' (1965) with music of Chitragupt.
Enjoy !

Sri

Title song from the film 'Jab yaad kisi ki aati hai' 1967
starring Dharmendra, Mala Sinha
Music : Madan Mohan; Lyrics : Raja Mehdi Ali Khan
Enjoy !

Sri

A lively song from the film Mem-didi ( 1961 ) starring Tanuja, Lalita Pawar
music : Salil Chowdhury

Bhulado zindagi ke gham, taraana chhedo pyar ka
Enjoy !

Sri

Lovely, lovely, charming song from 'Main bhi ladki hoon' 1964 - and one of my favourite tunes :
Chanda se hoga woh pyaara, phoolon se hoga woh nyaara
Lata Mangeshkar in rare combination with P B Srinivas
(his name 's always spelt as Srinivos, though !!)
P B Srinivas was well known in south indian films for his lovely, soft voice - a-la Talat Mahmood and has many many hits to his name. I was fortunate to have heard him in a live concert about 30 years ago ... where he sang this song and left all of us in a trance for several hours

On screen, Meena Kumari and Dharmendra sing the song - eagerly anticipating the arrival of their baby - whom they are describing in the song. This tune was originally composed by R Sudarsanam (with the lyrics of Kannadasan) for the Tamil version of the film 'Naanum oru penn' released in 1963 - and was sung by T M Sounderarajan and P Susheela. The same tune has been retained by Chitragupt for the hindi version. For those interested I am also providing a small sample clip of the original song in Tamil.
Enjoy !!!

Sri

Sri-ji,

Thanks for the Hindi version. Could you also upload the Tamil version at one of the Tamil sub-fora ? Or if its considered common among old Tamil song collectors, I'll look for it at coolgoose

Thanks in anticipation...

Vivek

Vivek - i don't have this tamil song in full - got this small clip from the net.
was very happy to get hold of the hindi version, though ....had been looking for a good quality copy of this for a while

Sri

The film DAADI MAA (1966) had many nice songs by ROSHAN
Here's a nice one by Lata Mangeshkar :
Chale aaye re, hum to chale aaye re, sabse bacha ke ankhiyan
Enjoy !!

Sri

Here is a link to the Tamil original.
http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?s=&s...ndpost&p=175374

Here's a nice number composed by Khayyam for Aakhri Khat 1966. Some parts of it are reminiscent of the composer's earlier musical masterpiece 'Phir Subah Hogi'

Mere chanda mere nanhe tujhe apne seene se kaise lagaoon
Enjoy !!


Sri

Gunga Jumna 1961 had many well known songs. This one - which I like very much - was also well known but not quite as famous as the other ones. Here's

Ho re Ho re, Jhanana ghunghar baaje,
mora man jhoome piya, tori dagar choome piya,
aaja ghar aaja

Just love the lively tempo of this song. It also has some 'Ho-ho-ho'-ing by Mohd. Rafi towards the end..but he is not credited for it - knowing him, he must have done it for free - since it was only a very small bit of singing !!
Enjoy !

Sri

A lovely Lata number from the film Bhabhi 1957, which was full of good songs, with music by Chitragupt

Ja re jadugar dekhi teri jadugari

I recollect that this positively charming number was requested by some discerning listeners of HF radio !!
Enjoy !

Sri

Marhaba Sri Bhai,

If you don't mind, I have a request.

Mohabbat Ki Jhooti Kahani Pe Roye by Lata Mangeshkar; Film: Mughal-E-Azam (1960); Music: Naushad Ali; Lyrics: Shakeel Bedayuni

I found a rearrangement version (I think its sung by another lady), the song is really awesome, but you know that I absolutely like the original versions of old songs.

Is it possible, to upload it at least at 128 kbps?

I would be grateful.

Thanks in anticipation with best regards...

Kistin

thanks sri jii, really nice song. Can I request "kare badara , jare jare badara"? another nice lata song from that movie.

Hi Sri,

Did you post "Dil Ka Diya Jalake Gaya"? If yes, could you kindly send this song as attachment to gupte.sandeep@googlemail.com please? I have been searching for this for a very log time.

Regards,
SKG.

Kistin, nm, skg

Terribly sorry !!

I've just seen your requests. Good choices !! Will upload them all in a day or so. Sorry to keep you all waiting !!

Sri

P.S. Sandeep - noted your email details. Are you new here ? If so, welcome !

Hi Sri,

I am new here, just joined yesterday. Looking forward to meet and make friends with people who love old songs.

Thank you for welcoming me. Could you please forward that song to me?

Regards,
SKG.

Kistin

Good to hear from you after a loooong time !!

Here's your request ! This track is from the film's soundtrack (DVD). So, there are a few extra sounds like those of chains ( in the beginning ) - since the beautiful heroine is thrown into prison by the king (because the prince fell in love with her!)

Mohabbat ke jhooti kahani pe roye
Enjoy!

Sri

Bond ji

Here's yr request. If i'm not mistaken, some others had also requested this song while I was playing it on the radio - well, for all of them too - here it is :

Kaare kaare baadra. jaa re jaa re baadra - from Bhabhi 1957, music of Chitragupt
Enjoy!

Sri

Sri, I am very busy in my busines, and hence couldn't get into this nice forum for a long time. I hope that you are fine.

Thanks a lot for the song and for the information about it. This song is just too good for me! I really appreciate your help.

Regards,
Kistin

thanks sri ji!

a note: the song extracts with a wav extension. rename the file with mp3 extension to play it.

Kistin
Glad to be of help.
I do hope you will be able to take some time out to pop in to HF now and then !!

All the best with your business !!

Sri

nm - thanks for the feedback - i have replaced the file with an mp3 file

Sri

Here's a very rare one from Lata with the music of Chitragupt - from the film Do Shikari (1979). Song was recorded in the late 60s but the film was released a decade later (with a new name). Picturised on a very young Rekha wooing Biswajit.

(chand kyon zard hai) ...O sajna, daraati hai yeh tanhai ki raatein

Specially requested by our own Lata after hearing it on HF radio !!
Enjoy !

Sri

P.S. (added later)
Apparently this song was truncated in the film soundtrack (on VCD) - which accounts for the unusual beginning - starting with the antara (first verse) - chand kyon zard hai. The complete song starting with the mukhda 'sajna daraati hai' has been uploaded by Mohsin in another thread named 'Sajna daraati hai' in the Lata forum. Pl see that too.

Beautiful song Sri,

Had not heard it before. Thank you.

Yes. It is a lovely number. Nothing less to be expected from that wonderful Chitragupt-Lata team !

Sri

Thanks a ton Sriji ....You are a gem:)

On request - a song which was played yesterday on HF radio: a lovely duet of Lata Mangeshkar and Hemant Kumar with the enchanting melody of C Ramchandra .......and, appealing lyrics from Sahir (so what's new?) !!

Umr hui tumse mile,
phir bhi jaane kyon,
aise lage jaise,
pehli baar mile hum
Enjoy !!

Sri
P.S Pl note that the year should be 1963 ...and not 1950 as erroneously mentioned here

One more farmaish :

Aaj ki mulaqat bas itni - Lata and Mahendra Kapoor - Bharosa 1963, Music of Ravi

Enjoy !!

Sri

A rare 'truet' of Lata-Asha-Usha from the film Benazir 1964 - see my Asha Bhosle thread. Link is given below, look for post # 13 :

Sri

sri ji, once again, you have provided a song I was looking for.
Thank you, thank you!
(and also for reminding me to hear "aaj kii mulaaqat" in your next post, a beautiful song that puts you in a good mood)
