Rarer Talat Melodies..., Filmi..aur gair filmi Options

[shriram]

Talatsaab epitomises the music of the early 1950s. His soft voice reflected aptly the softness of his nature. I have had the privilege of meeting him and talking with him very often in those days. He was truly a gentleman, a very cultured, unassuming, handsome man. During the 50s when he was at his peak, he was truly a ladies man. He used to be very stylishly dressed and even top stars would be outshone by him. But above all that, it was the way he spoke that warmed him to all. He never talked ill of others, and even later when his assignments dried up, he retained his captivating smile.

In memory of that wonderful man, I present a few songs from my collection of Talat melodies. These are mostly recorded from records or tape or received as CDs from friends. So pl pardon for any bad sound quality.

1. Song : yaad jab aaye terii, apanii guzarii zindaii
Film : Mohar (1959)
Composer : Madan Mohan
Lyrics : Rajinder Kishen
Bit : 128
Duration : 3:04



And two of the finest duets of Talat saab, both from the film "Apni Izzat". It showcases Hansraj Behl's class as a composer. Talat is as soft as a feather in both melodies and is clearly at his artistic peak.

Songs :
1. dil meraa teraa diivaanaa, Duration : 3:11
2. pyaar kii rut dora.ngii, Duration : 3:13

Singers : Talat & Madhubala Jhaveri
Film : Apni Izzat (1952)
Composer : Hansraj Behl
Lyrics : Asad Bhopali
Bit : 128



Hope you enjoy these songs.

More will follow..

Regards,
Shriram

Shriram ji, it was great to know that you are one of the luckiest persons who have met this legendary artiste, one of my personal favorites.
