It is the 90’s birthday of India’s first and only songbird – Lata Mangeshkar, who has melted our hearts with her angelic voice with decades of music.
We couldn’t let the opportunity go without looking back at some of our favorite melodies from this timeless diva, whose voice has echoed from generation to generation and still continues inspire countless female vocalists.
The legendary songstress, who started her career in the 1940’s has given us countless cherishable gems – ranging from her work in the black and white era, to her most recent collaborations with the likes of A. R. Rahman.
Lata’s contribution to the Indian popular music scene can only be summed by looking at her vast discography and her longevity.
Here is us attempting to scratch the surface to give you some of her most memorable hits:
NA KOI UMANG HAI
AE MERE WATAN KE LOGO
TUJHSE NARAZ NAHI ZINDAGI
EK PYAR KA NAGMA HAI
TERE BINA ZINDAGI SE
CHALTE CHALTE
YEH KAHAN AA GAYE HUM
LAG JA GALE
JO WADA KIYA
HUM TERE PYAR MEIN SARA AALAM
And there you have it.
