14 duets of Lata - asha under SJ ! songs ( including 2nd verision of " ankhon ankhon mein with manna)

Thats highest no of duets under Any MD ( along with LP ! )


Since I have some info on SJ aspect of the duets of these two singers so would like to share.

Once one of our grp member asked Asha ji about her first duet with lata ji and she started talking about Basant bahar( or Halaku?) duet as the first one. only to be told about the correct one laterz. Probabily she couldnt remember the earlier ones well but the popular Basant bahar one more !

Such things are bound to happen. SJ gave 14 duets to Lata- Asha in just 100-130 movies till 1972.( Shankar didnt used Lata laterz ). more would have come had Shankar continued working with Lata. Of all the above songs IMO 9 songs are by Shankar !!!

Take for instance year 1956 SJ gave Lata- Asha three brilliant duets in a single year - " kar gaya re", Man bhavan ke ghar aaye gori , " aji chale aao " ! SJ had done their work with others to follow them !

Even the earlier one from mayur pankh - Ya barkha bahar sautaniya ka, is a brilliant one ! A semi classical duet. one must listen to this early song of both sisters to check out differences( for those fond of )

And then in Mukabala humse na karo is nice nice sisters sang with nice western - Indian fusion music !

And then most of these songs WERE POPULAR (as well had nice content for quality conscious )

ultra slow( aankhon aakhon mein ) to fast ( kya hua ) SJ gave all to Both Lata - Asha

I dont think any MD can match SJ in this aspect- variety, quality and quantity ! ! let me KNOW of one !

Would like to know your favourties from these 14 SJ- Lata _ Asha songs !

Sonu

PS : Its just coincidence that last week I was talking with one SJ fan on these Lata - Asha duets. and one song that we discussed was Mayur pankh's " ye barkha bahaar "

Sonu, my favourite is Aankhon Aankhon Mein from Janwar.

I'm uploading the film version, which is not only much longer, but also includes Manna Dey's voice.
