Great Upload Shashankji!!

For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.

here is meena kapoor reminiscing about the event-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
........Another afternoon, I heard someone ringing the doorbell
frantically, I ran to the door to open it. I found Geeta again who just
pushed me aside to come in and said "You lazybone, kab se bell baja
rahi hoon, Ek dam buddhu!"


Me : Phir tumne mujhe buddhu raha!
Geeta: Sorry Sorry (She always used to insist that I call her Didi
which I flatly refused)


Geeta: Don't you remember? We have to attend the meeting of
PBSA(Playback Singer's Association) where it will be decided on how
to raise some funds for the old singing artists in distress.


AND....we did, stage a grand show at Bombay's liberty cinema. Where
we both (Geeta and I) had to perform a dance on the song Madhu gandha
bhare by Tagore, sung live by Lata Mangeshkar and Hemant Kumar. And a
small play in which Talat Mahmood, GM Durrani, Geeta Roy and I had to
take part.


The last item was a parody in which right from Amirbai Karnataki, Lata
Mangeshkar, Geeta Roy, Mukesh, Talat Mahmood, Kishore Kumar, Hemant
Kumar and yours truly had taken part.


Each of us had to sing a few line from one of our popular numbers with
funny gesticulation. All of us had to stand in a line on stage, one by
one had to come forward at the centre of the stage sing his/her part
and go back and join the line again.


Amirbai Karnataki came first holding a dagger in her hand singing on of
her very famous numbers Mar Katari Mar Jaana (Shehnai, music C
Ramachandra)
Geeta came in a white saree making a very sad face almost sobbing
singing her very popular number from Do Bhai (Music SD Burman) Mera
Sundar Sapna Beet Gaya. Mukesh came hitting his chest and lit a
matchstick, singing Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De (Music Anil Biswas).
Kishore did some yodeling jumped all over the stage and came back to
join the line as those days he used to feel very nervous singing on
stage. Lata Mangeshkar sang Aayega aane wala from Mahal (music
Khemchand Prakash). Talat Mahmood again with a very sad face Aye Dil
Mujhe Aisi Jagah Le Chal from Aarzoo, (Music Anil Biswas). I sang Mori
Atariya Pe Kaga Bole from Aakhen, (Music Madan Mohan) with some very
funny movements.


Oh it was hilarious!


The year was 1953

Nopes. The year was 1951 ( PBSA). And Kishore did sing in the show, albeit his antics made more impact on the audience.
FYI, Kishore sang only once before that , on Stage, in 1948 ( before he sang for Ziddi - cannot recall the month now but can find out from my notes ). After 1951, Kishore never sang on stage, till his legendary beginning in the late 60's.
