I was listening to this song tonight. Though I listened it thousands of times before, it was sounding different this time. May be the song itself acquired a different meaning after sudden departure of all life beloved of Mukesh Ji. My eyes are full of tears now.

Look around today's world it's difficult to find same level of dedication and commitment to each other like this couple had. That too throughout their lifetimes. It's impossible for the people in show business today. There was not even a single controversy in the life of Mukesh Ji.

Not just the songs, his life gives all of us a message. You can achieve all of your objectives even in a simple life. Her name was also Saral ( Simple ) and his songs were also Saral ( Simple but straight to heart ). She was the soul of his songs. The emotions can't be generated in void, she was the strength behind. The strength supporting Mukesh Ji from behind during favorable times but jumping ahead and taking first hit during difficult time.

After the earth it's now the turn of havens to get itself blessed. It had the songs for 32 years, now it have soul of the songs too.

O.K Havens be blessed and remain blessed forever. We can live with whatever little we have got.

Ek Waqt Hamara Bhi Tha Aisa,
Aatman Main Jhakaar Thi
Na Tappa Tha Na Thi Thumri
Vo Ragini Thi Pyar Ki
Jamane Se Nyara Tha Vo Tarana,
Gushan Main Bahar Thi
Har Sur Jo Aaya Dil Aisa Dhadka
Jyun Dil Main Ho Sab Ka Pyar Bhi

Hi,

Sorry, I don't have Royal Albert Hall CD but may have same songs from films.
Please let me know if you are interested in any version.

I read an interesting snippet in a book long back about Mukesh's style of singing.
A well known classical artist was sitting with a reputed music director when Mukesh Ji came in, talked for some time and left in his Benz car. The artist turned towards the music director and asked him why people like Mukesh are being paid hefty sums while people who are trained to be singers like him are sidelined.
The music director gave him a song which was sung by Mukesh the day before and asked the artist to sing. The artist immediately gave a grand exhibition by singing the song in allocated Raaga with perfect taal.. and the Music director said the artist...you are perfect in all musical senses, yet it didnt made my eyes go misty ....like yesterday when i was listening to Mukesh's song !!
It is the human soul that we listen to when Mukesh Ji sings .....not human voice.

SF,

I have read similar incident and I belive the MD'd were Kalyanji-Anandji duo, who were very fond
Mukeshji. They used Mukesh for lot of new actors because they belived it helped them success.
There was also similar feelng amongs some well trained playback singers, yet Mukesh was the only
playback singer with about 90% hits and the main reason for it was soulful rendering IMHO.

KA really did have faith in Mukeshji's voice. They were never afraid to experiment with his voice, whether it was for his "comfortable matched' actors like Manoj Kumar and Raj Kapoor, or actors that were not considered a good match with Mukeshji like Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. It was also through KA that Mukesh was once upon the time known as the voice of Feroz Khan. They made real good use with Mukeshji's bass voice.

This was the movie "Saraswati Chandra" and song was "Chandan Sa Badan, Chanchal Chitvan"
The classical artist challenged KA that he can sing batter then Mukesh but failed miserably.

Mukesh have special place in Music horizon. He was very successful in the era, when it was unthinkable for any classically imperfect singer to seek even a single assignment. Mukesh worked well on his classical skills also but his strength remains in soulful and straight to heart rendition.

When we come to straight singing we have perception that it's simple. It's like drawing a straight line using free hand. Looks easy but it's not. When you start drawing you realize it's less then straight, less then perfect. This is the case with singing also. When you sing it yourself and listen back you realize how difficult it can be to generate same emotions. Same emotions Mukesh could pour in his songs.
