Lambi Joru Badi Museebat, Who sang it? Options

[unni]

The voice is too sweet and virginy type like Lata.

Now I've heard everything! They even sound different!

[sangeetbhakt]

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".

[Priya]

You were bowled over my charm, no dearie?

Ah I remember--I had packed the hatchet but u beguiled me with chocolates!!
Unni U actually came loaded with a charm? To transform U or protect U?

Duets with Rafi-sahab! Pure & Zimble!

Which U ul at MAS--so what does one ul here?
Methinks I will ul my song--that will make U a little grateful for all the treasures here.

You missed the garland of garlic.

Wonder, what indeed?

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.

KYA BAAT HAI UNNI~G[/b][/size][/color] On my next trip, i need 2 visit kochi  

Sajjadbhai to be bowled over by Unni's charms U do not need to come all the way to Kochi--he is very much in the US just like U. LOL

Priya~G, i don't think the female is Asha! WHY? The voice is too sweet and virginy type like Lata.

Sajjadbhai is there any other way U rate voices? There are ways U know--suprano, alto, bass etc. U can talk of Westernised voices and Indianised ones. Aiyyah!!! BTW just curious --how do u rate male voices?

[Priya]

You missed the garland of garlic.  

So that was the garlic??? I thot it was U!!!

Wonder, what indeed?

At this rate Ur obituary!!!

Is this an edited version? I mean cleaned?
Nope I do not wish i had uled the big file--I would be pulling my hair oput with the uls getting adruptly cut off.

[Talaikya]

I mean cleaned?

Yep... cleaned, not with any particular attention to detail, because it wasn't cd-able anyways. Just got rid of the big time hiss and amplified it marginally.

Yes, there are other ways to rate voices - like in MILES!!!

Noor Jehan - lots of miles - throughly used!
Lata - Pure as snow/good looking nazuk virgin(untouched)
Asha - Lots of miles/sexy but very experienced:-)
Shamshad begum - Sweet fat punjabi women/garam too:-)
G.Dutt - boring bongo lady who is singing her heart out but no one cares:-(

As for male singers:

Rafi - Flirty young fashionable good looking guy. (True Player)
Kishore - Mature handsome man with deep voice. (player too:-) but goes after aunties:-)
Manna Dey - Dance Master.
Hemant kumar - Saadhu or old bongo man:-)
Mukesh - Sad guy, who is not getting anything:-)
Talat - Romantic/gentle man - not into raw love:-)
RD Burman - a guy with something stuck in his throat.
SD Burman - 1/2 naked fakir/begger/boat man.


Who else? others r past time.

Once again, thanks for this rare Rafi/Lata duet. (Sorry you had to spend so much time speculating about it). .

Now, can I gleefully move it to one of the hallowed forums where it truly belongs?

Would you also go through your "Asha" Collection for other such hidden treasures?

[hits]

Unni is correct. This is a Rafi-Lata duet.
