Lata Mangeshkar Passes Away: Veteran singer Lata Mangeshkar passed

the Breach Candy Hospital in south Mumbai on January 8.

LIVE UPDATES: Lata Mangeshkar Passes Away LIVE Updates: Legendary


Singer Dies at 92; Mortal Remains to Be Taken to Shivaji Park for Last
Respects

There may never be time when someone, somewhere is not jamming to a Lata
Mangeshkar melody. No other singer has grabbed the imagination of a
country as she has. Music lovers may be split when it comes to their favourite
male artists – some may vouch for Mohammed Rafi, some for Kishore Kumar,
while others choose KJ Yesudas – but the plurality of them will choose Lata
as the feminine voice they most desire to hear. Not for no cause.

Her voice is divine. Her range is extensive. Her expressions are usually spot
on. Here's a look at some of India's Nightingale's most classic songs:

Incredible tech now easily yours this Republic Day

Ae Dil-E-Naadan- Razia Sultan

Khayyam, the last of the legendary famous composers to die lately, may have
chosen Asha Bhosle to perform most of the songs in his magnum opus
Umrao Jaan, but he elected the eldest of the brilliant Mangeshkar sisters to
sing this excruciatingly beautiful tune. Lata’s soulful version elevated the song
to one of the finest of the 1980s.

Raina Beeti Jaye- Amar Prem

Lata shines in this wonderful composition in the ragas Todi and Khamaj. She
catches you right away and pushes you to listen to the song again and again.
Chingaari koi bhadke and Kuch to log kehenge were two of Kishore Kumar’s
best songs in R.D. Burman’s memorable score for Shakti Samanta, and this
number by Lata doesn’t fail to live up.

 Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna- Guide

The film’s crowning achievement was the chart-topping song “Aaj Phir Jeene
Ki Tamanna.” Lata Mangeshkar, who was nominated for a Filmfare Award,
wonderfully portrayed a lady trapped in a moral quandary punctuated by love.

Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jana- Dil Wale Dulhaniya Le Jaenge

In the midst of all the commotion around the following happy ending, there is
one song that pretty much established Shah Rukh and Kajol’s on-screen
connection. 'Tujhe Dekha toh yeh jana,’ sung by Lata and Kumar Sanu, became
an overnight sensation and went on to represent love, as well as cementing
itself as a 'Love Anthem’ for more than a decade.

Humko Humi Se Chura Lo- Mohobbatein

This star-studded musical love drama caught the youth by storm, becoming a
cult favourite. Being a musical, the song “Humko Humise Chura Lo” proved to
be the movie’s crowning achievement, further cementing Lata Mangeshkar’s
versatility.

Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon- Album

It wasn’t a boisterous song, but rather a moving one written eloquently by


Pradeep about the sacrifice of soldiers. Lata’s performance on Republic Day,
1963, in the National Stadium in New Delhi, in the presence of President S.
Radhakrishnan and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru moved the crowd to
tears.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum- Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum

The soundtrack, particularly the title track sung by the nightingale, made Kabhi
Khushi Kabhi Gum more appealing than the drama-filled plot. It has the ability
to melt even the most fervent stone hearts. Every music lover’s lips are still
tingling with the aalap of this well-known tune. Lata worked her magic once
again, bringing this Jatin-Lalit piece to life.

O Sajna- Parakh

This was one of her first hits, and it remains one of her finest, seven decades
later. Lata, then 20, demonstrated how her voice could captivate a whole
nation. In this legendary song, she displayed her classical abilities to
perfection. Khemchand Prakash’s composition is outstanding and wonderfully
visualised.

Lag Ja Gale- Woh Kaun Thi


There can’t be any more well-known India tune than this one. Madan Mohan,
the virtuoso whose muse Lata was, wrote this music for the 1964 film Woh
Kaun Thi. It’s so lovely that you won’t be able to stop listening to it. Many
vocalists have tried covers of this classic, but none have succeeded in
capturing the essence of the song like Lata.

Satyam Shivam Sundaram- Satyam Shivam Sundaram

The song was chosen by the ambitious and young Lata to wow the audience.
When people attempt what is undoubtedly a difficult song to render, they
receive plaudits – and some of them become instant notoriety.

Laxmikant Pyarelal’s masterful work in raga Darbari Kanada for a film is


reported to have been influenced by Lata’s voice. Director Raj Kapoor
reportedly wanted her to play the part, which was later made famous by
Zeenat Aman.
