This thread is dedicated to capturing some great melodies created by Roshan and rendered by Lata. Theirs was one of the greatest but underappreciated combinations in Hindi film music. I consider Roshan's songs for Lata superior to those of Madan Mohan. In my books, he is tied at no 3 with Salil Chowdhury in matter of Lata compositions. (C.Ramchandra and Anil Biswas take the first two spots)

I hope others will also join in to share their favorites here. I start with an enchanting melody from "Maalkin, a 1954 film. Hope you enjoy it.

Song : unako apanaa banaa ke chhoD diyaa
Film : Maalkin (1954)
Bit rate : 128kbps

Here is one from Chitralekha (1964) - Ae Ri Jaane Na Doongi in 128 bitrate.

Another Roshan-Lata combination, Ae Ri Aali Piya Bin from Raag Rang.
3:27 in 128k bitrate.

Next, presenting one of Roshan's most exquisite Lata compositions in a film stuffed with a whole bunch of Lata treasures - "Naubahaar". The below are some of the songs adorning the track :

aerii aalii piyaa bin
dekho jii meraa jiyaa
kahaa.N hai tuu kahaa.N hai
unake bulaave pe Dole
vo paas nahii

Each of these is a treasure.

Today, my favorite song - vo paas nahii majbuur hai dil. A class song, one of those definitive Roshan-Lata melodies. What melody !

true. topclass song

Making up for the absence of an upload yesterday, I present here two beautiful melodies created by Roshan during (IMO) his peak years of the early 1950s.

Thanks for Roshan - Lata melodies. I couldn't agree with you more about the class these melodies ooze. Just a small correction, "Aa Phir Se Merey Pyar Ki Taqdir" is from Baarati.

Can you please upload "Mohabbat Ek Shola Hai" and "Kisi Ki Aankh Ke Aansoo" from Aagosh and "Haaye Koi Keh De Papiha Se" and "Aa Ja O Aa Ja Beluva" from Baarati in this thread.

Thanks
