Itna to yaad hai mujhe, ke gaane itne sureele the!
Baad may jaane kya hua Boollywood ke sangeet ka?
This song, composed by Lakshmikant Pyarelal, is from the film Mehboob ki Mehendi which was released in the year 1970. Nearly 40 years old and amazingly sounds better than any other new song.
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!
