Hi Ashish and Inaam
I have three songs from Khazanchi in very good quality on an audio tape. But, as usual you guys will have to wait for a week and a half. Shamshad Begum features in all three song-
1)sawan ke nazare hain la la la la laa (I regard it as one of the best songs of Shamshad. Just wonder why do these HMV rogues never put this on any of her compilations
. They start all her compilations with post independence songs arbitrarily excluding her superb output from 1940s.)
2)Nainon ke ban ki
3)Ek kali nazon ki pali rahti thi sada
Hi Thanks Pulkit for reply.
You are right indeed . The career of Shamshad starts from 1937 and it is quiet strange that her songs when she was considered as an edge to others ,are not included by HMV.They start from Piya gaye rangoon and end to Kajra Mohabbatwala.Well we have read she had cut many discs before coming to Bombay and also on ALL INDIA RADIO .Nothing info on this.May be in subsequent time AIR releses ome of old compilations.I hope Lahore Radio have preserved old songs like "EK BAAR PHIR KAHO ZARA "etc. .This is the main reason most indians are oblivious of that golden era.Before 1947 she has large credits like Humayun,Bairam Khan,Zamindar etc.Sameis case with her Punjab songs She reigned punjabi film industry till 1965 with hits like Lachhi with one poipular song meri lagdi kise na vekhi,then do lacchian, Koday shah,,BHANGRA,PIND DI KURI{ having hit Teri meri ik jindri },Posti,,Chaii, with the last which i remember song with Mahender Kapoor..Perhaps her last punjabi song.Regarding her pre Lachhi no other info is there.
Regarding uploads thanks a lot. ,take your time and upload when ready.Thanks a lot again .
Thanking you
Ashish
