In 1950, Lata Mangeshkar gave voice to some really nice compositions by relatively lesser known music directors. This year also marked Lata Mangeshkar's debut with Sachin Dev Burman with Aankhon Se Door Door (Mashaal). Then we have Dil Hi To Hai ( Aadhi Raat) by Husnalal Bhagatram, about which I have written in an earlier post. Ramchandra ( Sargam, Samadhi, Sangeeta, Nirala) and Husnalal Bhagatram ( Aadhi Raat, Pyar Ki Manzil) While each of these soundtracks is a masterpiece in itself, there are a few songs I like more than the others: Jana Na Dil Se Door ( Arzoo) for the delightful way in which Lata sings the word ' door' Matwale Nainon Wale Pe ( Beqasoor) for its composition structure and effortless murkis the lovely duet with Mukesh, Zamane Ka Dastoor ( Lajawab) Mehfil Mein Jal Uthi Shama ( Nirala) Naumeed Ho Kar Bhi and Jo Mujhe Bhula Ke Chale Gaye ( Sangeeta) Tu Chhed Sakhi Sargam ( Sargam) with the riveting violin piece at the end the pathos of Koi Kisi Ka Deewana Na Bane ( Sargam) and of course Gore Gore ( Samadhi).
I have heard just 50% of these and this list is quite dominated by songs composed by Anil Biswas ( Arzoo, Lajawab, Beqasoor), C. If you don't, what does it matter? They're personal favourites after all Jġ950: Lata Mangeshkar sang 152 Hindi film songs this year. Have a peak at my attempt and see if I have been able to do justice to this onerous task. So you can imagine what a tough task it was for me to pick one song per year in the 50s. Of course, she greatly benefited from a whole galaxy of master composers who composed gems after delightful gem for her to vocalize. And as the 50s progressed she perfected this art to emerge as the one and only reference point for perfect pronunciation in songs. There was a distinct change in her tallaffuz, especially when it came to emphasis on key words and clarity of pronunciation. From the rawness that was evident in her voice, she quickly mastered the art of playback singing in the 50s under the tutelage of great music composers like Anil Biswas, Naushad, C. If in the last few years of the 40s Lata Mangeshkar gained foothold into the Hindi film music industry, it was the 50s that she really grew to dominate the industry.
In my last post I had listed my favourite Lata Mangeshkar songs from the 1940s.
