![]() O sajnaa barkha bahaar aayi ( Parakh, 1960): With Salil Choudhary. As always, these songs are all from pre-1970s Hindi films that I’ve seen (with one exception, on the cusp), and are in no particular order.ġ. And, to make it a little more unique, I’ve made sure that I’ve not included any of the songs I included in my earlier Lata songs list. ![]() This one, therefore, is somewhat different: this one is of Lata solos, sung for ten different composers. Of course I’ve done a Lata song list before, back in 2010, of Lata in Ten Moods. And many of those, I cannot imagine anyone else singing as exquisitely as she has. Many of my favourite Hindi film songs from the 40s onward have been sung by Lata. But I cannot deny that I have a huge amount of respect for Lata in her heyday, as a singer: the sweetness of her voice, the awe-inspiring control, the seemingly effortless way of singing the most daunting of tunes. There have been various aspects of her career that I have not liked, and there are many songs of hers, especially from the latter years, that I do not like at all. ![]() I tend not to eulogize people, even those whom I like a lot.
