Lata Mangeshkar, the voice with countless immortal numbers
A tribute to the Nightingale of India Lata Mangeshkar who turns 90 this year.
A very senior music-recordist friend of mine in Pune narrated this story, which is not apocryphal. He assisted in recording many Hindi songs of yore during his long career. Once he came out of the recording room with Mohammad Rafi, who had just recorded a song for Aakashdeep (1965). The number was: Mujhe dard-e-dil ka pata na tha, mujhe aap kisliye mil gaye… Lata was there sitting with Majrooh Sultanpuri and composer Chitragupt Shrivastav (composers Anand-Milind’s father). Lata said, ‘Badhai ho, Rafi sahab. Aapne behatareen naghme ko behatareen dhang se gaaya‘ (Congrats. You sang a fabulous song in an equally fabulous manner).
