Reasonably Rare Lata Songs - Not Available Easily, solos and duets from the 50s and 60s Options

[sri]

Starting a new topic for reasonably rare Lata songs ( like I did for Rafi songs earlier ). I will be discussing songs here which I like and which I feel are not easily available. Other members - pl feel free to add ... but please ensure that the songs are good and the sound quality is also good, as far as possible.

Today's choice falls on a song composed by one of my favourite music directors _ Roshan - from a movie which has several great and well known songs ( Baar baar tohe kya samjhaen / ab kya misaal doon / kabhi to milegi kahin to milegi / aapne yaad dilaya to mujhe yaad aaya ) - the movie is AARTI, released in 1962

This particular song is not as well known as the others in the movie ... but is a very emotional, soulful tune - very well sung by Lata Mangeshkar .....and after so many years, continues to haunt my mind, whenever I think of it.

Here's "Bane ho ek khaak se, ameer kya gareeb kya". Top class music composition ... great words by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

Enjoy !

Shuklas,

Here's one I like from Aao pyar karen (1964), sung by Lata
Ek sunehri shaam thi, behki behki zindagi
Raah mein hum tum mile, meri palkon ke tale
Aashiyan tera ban gaya

Music of Usha Khanna and lyrics of Rajinder Krishan

Enjoy !

This is a beautiful song. Based on the songs that I know, I would rank this as the best
song in the Lata/Usha Khanna partnership. I believe the Lata songs from "Hum hindustaani"
were popular, but I think none of them come close to this song or the other solo from
this film "TamannaoN ko khilne de". Thanx for a good recording of this song.

Lata is just superb in this song. Last night, while flipping thru channels, I came across
one of those shows where singers are given training. I think this is related somehow to
Ismail Darbar (in fact, he may have been the guy coaching). This girl was trying to
sing "Na ja mere humdum". And she seemed good enough. But the coach was trying
to explain to her that this was a Lata song and had to be handled with the appropriate
delicacy. As he explained to the girl how to do it, she failed several times. When she
finally sang it on stage, she had managed to tone down the rough edges but in the
process, the life also went out of the song. And that is when one realizes what the
Mangeshkar sisters are able to achieve, and why they epitomize the best in their craft.
And the 2 Lata solos from this film show just how magnificently Lata provides delicacy
to a song.

Any Body Will upload more songs from Be-Nazeer ???

I am really looking forward to listening to "Alvida jaan-e-wafa meri manzil aa gayi".
Any copy of the film that I have ever seen has not had this song. Don't know if it
was included in the film or not. Anyway, I have heard about this song, but never
heard it myself. Is it on the "Benazir" CD??

sangeetbhakt - thanks for your great comments.
about the song 'alvida jaan-e-wafa' - i somehow thought these words were connected with the last song of the film when meena kumari dances for the last time in the story and dies ... but that song in the film is 'gham nahin jo zindagi veeraan hai' and these words do not appear - in any case the last song is an Asha Bhosle number and not Lata's. So my fault for misleading on this issue .... there is no song with these words in the CD of the film. Earth music also lists a Rafi song 'le gayi ek haseena' - this song is also not to be found

I do believe the song was recorded for this film and somebody who has
heard it says that it is a really lovely one. But as it is not in the film
itself and not on the CD, it is hard to come by. Perhaps Dharamvir-ji
or Mahesh have it???
