Radio as Alarm

Those were the days when we used to wake up to the tunes of Noor Jahan, Shamshad Begum, Talat Mehmood, K L Saigal, Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Manna dey, and Mohammed Rafi, as Radio Ceylon used to play old songs early in the morning. New songs were introduced only after 8.am. Most of us during that period were listening to the old and also the new, making ourselves comfortable with the past and also the present. Always listening to Healthy music brought a sense of Maturity and discipline within us. I would like to share a song from the film Anmol Ghadi, which was very popular and the most requested song of those days. It still sounds fabulous!

Pyar ki Khushboo

This melody is from the film Badalthe Rishte which was released in 1978. Music was composed by Lakshmikant Pyarelal.



Are we hearing such melodies now a days? What happened to Bollywood Music?
