hello friends,
here is one of my favourite soundtracks -footpath.it was a landmark film in the careers of khayyam sahab and ashaji.
khayyam sahab who earlier gave music under the name of sharmaji started using ''khayyam'' as his name.
ashaji for the first time proved that she can do complete justice to a full soundtrack like lata,geeta and shamshad.
although ''naya daur'' is often identified as the film which made asha bhosle;i feel the credit should go to ''footpath''.1953 imho was her breakthrough year where she started to overtake geetaji and shamshad begum.
the details are-
1]-so ja mere pyare,so ja so ja,ankhiyon ke taare so ja-asha;
2]-kaisa jadu dala re balme-asha,
3]-aa ra ra ram...suhana hai yeh mausham-asha;
4]-sham-e-gham ki kasam-talat,
5]-piya aa ja re-asha;
6]-thandi pawan chale-talat,premlata,ashima banerji
song number 6 does not feature in the vcd and is from khalid mahmood's website on his father.
hfgk also mentions that a song ''taare hanse rooun mein balam nahin aaye re'' was also recorded in sandhya mukherji's voice.but it was not used in the film nor a record released
all the songs are credited to majrooh sultanpuri and sardar jafri.
happy listening,
mahesh
