Famous Songs & Their Inspiration, Original song & later better-known version Options

[Faraaj73]

I'm uploading 2-3 famous songs which most music-lovers are familiar with and the original (and lesser known) song that inspired them. The audio of the extremely rare originals is quite good even if the bit rate is low.

Please note, there is no knowing how old some original tunes are. The original song that I attach may very well be inspired by an original dating back to the 19th century. Credit is certainly due to the later composer for the re-packaging and presentation of the song.

For nearly everyone Mohe Panghat Pe Nandlal equals Mughal e Azam as rendered by Lata. I attach below at 192 kbps mp3 the Mughal e Azam song as well as the original Indubala version of the 1920s. Indubala, now forgotten was a great name of the 1920s and was trained by Gauhar Jaan.




Enjoy! And members having similar examples are welcome to share them here.

Kind Regards
Faraaj

Thanks for the Youtube. I didn't realise the original Eurovision entry video was online. All credit to Domenico Modugno for the original composition, although I personally prefer hearing the Dean Martin and Pavarotti versions - there apparently being over 100 different versions. I only have 10-12 of them.

The indian version is all over the place - not very nice and its a bit disappointing to see a great MD like C.Ramchandra blatantly lifting the tune virtually a few months after the original italian version.

If anybody is interested, more than 50 pairs of such songs are available at

http://www.4shared.com/dir/20951925/d88d03...lish_hindi.html

Many of the Hindi songs are great, nevertheless "inspired". Most of the MDs of yesteryears are included. As My interest in Hindi Film Music almost ends at 1975, none of the MD's of the last 30 years are included (From what I read, these seem to be more "inspired" than their seniors)

Songs copied by both Hindi & Telugu MDs are available at :

The year 1975.

In my scheme of things, the year is 1976.
