Lambi Joru Badi Museebat, Who sang it? Options

[Priya]

Hi friends,
Was listening to the song lambi joru badi museebat--was the controversy on who sang this ever cleared--is it Lata or asha. VN bk says Asha. I believe Geet Kosh says lata. When u listen to the song it could be either of them. Any definitive info?

Hi friends!
This is strange!!! Sajjadbhai does not have a Rafi song?????

I DON'T HAVE ALL THE RAFI SONGS  

Rafisaab sounds the same--the woman sounds more like Lata to me but the style is Ashaish though in 49 Lata too had not really developed her hallmark style.

THIS IS REALLY STRANGE - PRIYA CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BTW LATA VS ASHA

The real reason is that they sound the same in mp3PRO at 64 kbps! (Priya's gonna kill me! )

Ha ha ha a pair of wise guys--Sajjadbhai and Unnijeeee--apne aap ko ruffians I mean Rafians kehte hain aur Rafisaab ka gaana nahi unke paas.
BTW Unni the song that I have on my hard disc (which I will not ul for U) is at 192 kbs!!!!! (where is the thenga smilie?)
Anyway am pretty sure it is Lata--here it is for U all at mp3pro 80 kbs

Actually I think it is Asha, a very very young Asha whose voice had still not
deepened enough to distinguish it from Lata's thinner voice. The part that made
me think it was Asha was right at the end of her first part where she says "o mai
haar gayi" and there is a laTka in the voice which she used a lot with OPN later
on. Again, it is hard to be 100% certain, but I shall be content believing it is
Asha.
After all, as a wise man often likes to quote: "reality is just an illusion".

Yes exactly Sangeetbhaktji--that was the part that confused me. The low picthed notes--because Lata does not any bass in her voice. It sounds like Asha in arey main haar gayi but the rest sounds like lata--tho they did sound a lot like each other in the beginning. Another thing that confused me was the kind of confidence in the singing--Lata was experienced in 49--Asha was not. One eg I have is of 2 Punjabi songs I have--both rafi and Asha duets--one from posti--an old song and Asha does not have that kind of art of duet singing that was so perfect once she had sung for a few years--that sort of repartee and timing and ability to make it sound like 2 people really having a musical conversation--the other song sun mere mahi has the classic asha at her best in duet singing. This song reminds me of the lara lappa type where Lata did sing what were later songs of Asha's dept.
What do Unni (when he has time from cracking jokes and speculating on things he ought not to at his age) and Mohdsaab think abt it?
Would be nice to have everyone's views and reasons.
