hello friends,
here are two songs from sunhare din[1949].
the identity of the singer in the two songs is controversial.while hfgk mentions shamshad begum as the singer in the two songs;the solo ''thandi thandi hawa jo aaye'' seems to be in surinder kaur's voice .i am doubtful about the song''umangon ke din beete jayein''hfgk mentions it as a shamshad,geeta and sulochana kadam song;lot of experts identify the voices as surinder kaur,geeta and sulochana kadam.
here are the two songs for expert opinion.
music is by gyan dutt and lyrics are by d n madhok.
happy listening,
mahesh

Mahesh...there should not be any controversy...both the songs that you uploaded have the voice of Surinder Kaur...not only the voices of both the singers but even the pronunciation/diction of the words by both of them are quite distinguishable.
I am no expert in these matters. I agree with the openion expressed
by Mahesh (sk). Both the songs have Surinder Kaur's voice. However.
the 78rpm of thandi thandi was issued in Shamshad's voice. All the
radio stations used to play Shamshad's recording. I have heard it
so many times. Believe me it was much better sung and iirc, had a bit
more of orchestral music. HFGK, you know is mostly based on record
catalogs and gives singers name picked therefrom.
Thanks for the songs.
