In Anarkali, the song ‘Ye zindagi us ki hai jo kis ka ho gaya pyar hi mein kho gaya.’ is an immortal number defining what love is all about.

You can’t miss the following song from film Nirala also composed by C Ramchnandra - ‘Mehfil mein jal uthi shama parvane ke liye preet bani hai duniya mein mar jane ke liye’. Another song is ‘Katate hain dukh mein ae din pahlu badal ke’ from film Parchayee. One song is ‘Mujhpe ilzame bewafai his… ye mohabbat teri duhai hai” (film Yasmin, music by C Ramchandra). But they forget that C Ramchandra and Madan Mohan too has some of the best Lata songs to their credit. Normally, critics and commentators name three music directors Shankar-Jaikishan, SD Burman and Naushad while recalling Lata’s memorable songs. Again, in the antara of the song, ‘main pyar ki chandni raat hoon…uljhi hui dard ki baat hoon… uljhi hui dard ki baaat hun’, her delicate voice modulation is excellent. Composed by Shankar-Jaikishan, one has to listen to the song carefully to appreciate the modulation of her voice.įor instance, when she sings ‘tune’ the word stretches a bit and one can decipher how she did it. Lata rendered some of the most difficult numbers, but one song in particular- ‘Tune haye mere zakhme jigar ko choo liya’ from the film Nagina released in 1951 - comes to my mind due to her superb voice modulation.

I pick up some of her songs that are generally not mentioned when critics list her memorable numbers.Īlso read: Lata Mangeshkar passes away: Veteran singer's most enduring songs, from 1940s to 2000sĪlso read: Flashback | 'I’m very proud of her': Lata Mangeshkar on her equation with sister Asha BhosleĪlso read: From Lata Mangeshkar's monopoly to her being moody: Let's clear the biggest misconceptions about herĪlso read: Lata Mangeshkar final interview | 'I doubt my legacy will matter as much to future generations in this era of instant gratification' She will continue to live in our hearts through her timeless songs that will continue to reverberate for many generations to come.
