Muse & Music
Most film loving folks think that the music made for films from 50’s through 80’s represents golden age of music. This may be debatable. However, one thing is certain. Several great musicals emerged during this period and we saw the rise of many singing legends during this time. One way to take a closer look at the music of the Golden Age is to look into the period through the female stars who were popular in this time frame. Because it is just about impossible to cater for all the stars, I came to a conclusion that probably the following 12 stars will sufficiently represent movies that are part of this golden era. These are: Asha Parekh Hema Malini Mala Sinha Mumtaz Nutan Rekha Sadhana Saira Banu Sharmila Tagore Vyjayanti Mala Waheeda Rehman Zeenat Aman Others may come up with a different list. But for the music of the Golden Age I want to share with our fellow members these stars probably make a fair representation. Let us look at filmographies of these actresses and see if we can come to some conclusions. I will present the filmographies in the order listed above. |

Bahaar (1951)
"Bahaar" originally was made in Tamil and starred a 15-year old Vyjayanti Mala for the first time. The movie was a super hit. AVM remade it in Telugu as "Jeevitam". The movie in Telugu was also a great hit. It was inevitable that they make it in Hindi as well. And they did it. Hindi movie also did well. Vyjayanti Mala became an overnight sensation and became a much sought after actress in all three langauages. The movie was directed in all three languages by M.V. Raman (later became famous for Kishore's "Aasha"). I am uploading all of the songs from this movie. Sources for these are from CD collections, tape, and contributions of the Forum members. Please be warned that the quality of these songs is just passable. Here are the songs ... Attached image(s) |
