Naheed Akhtar
Naheed Akhtar remained an unavoidable part of the titles of almost all Pakistani films between the mid-70′s to the late 80′s. In so many ways, she was the female counterpart of Ahmed Rushdie, even though coming a generation later. Naheed suddenly found her place as one of the most versatile singers around mid-70′s when it ...
Zubaida Khanum – Profile
____________________ Zubaida Khanum’s Profile | Zubaida Khanum’s Song List ____________________ Zubaida Khanum epitomized the robustness of the rhythm- based music of Lahore, the city that gave us singing stalwarts like Noor Jehan, Suraiya, Shamshad Begum, Zeenat Begum, S.D. Batish, and of course the inimitable Zubaida Khanum herself, whose soft and heavenly vocals sent her fans ...
Iqbal Bano
Coming from a family of rigid social customs, Iqbal Bano was an icon of the typical style of ghazal singing, making her style known not only throughout the country but across borders. She ranks among the few vocalists who will be remembered as a symbol of ghazal singing at a time when Pakistan had none. ...
Manna Dey – Part 4
Manna Dey’s unique style and his sincere, humane personality won him admirers and devotees. The late Kavi Pradeep, whose ‘Upar gagan vishaal’ Manna Da sang, says ‘I’m a great fan of Manna Da’s style. He pronounces words with great care and sensitivity. He’s also the emperor of harmony’. Talented Kavitha Krishnamurthy, a star in her ...
Manna Dey – Part 3
It was the astute S.D. Burman, who discovered the comic side to Manna Da’s singing, enabling him to perhaps, atleast crack the limitations of the classical tag. In the 60′s, for Ziddi, Burman Da made Manna Dey sing the hugely popular and uproariously funny ‘Pyar ki aag mein, tan badan jal gaya’. Every Manna buff ...
Manna Dey – Part 2
Other equally talented and deserving artistes of his time, made successful collaborations with either directors, music composers, or matinee idols, which gave impetus to their careers. The Lata Mangeshkar – Madan Mohan combine, the Rafi – Naushad collaboration, the Mukesh – Raj Kapoor unity, the Kishore Kumar – R.D.Rurman merger. Manna Da was never tied ...
Manna Dey – Part 1
At one point in time in the Golden Age of film music, composers could only think of one name, to render complex, classical based tunes – Manna Dey. Only he stood for classical erudition, only his voice could manoeuvre complicated murkis and gamaks. Only he could be trusted to retain the classical essence of the ...
Mukesh – Part 4
Perhaps the only calculating thing Mukesh ever did was to engineer an elopement to marry his beloved Saral. That was the name of the Gujarati girl Mukesh fell in love with and wished to marry. Families on both sides disapproved. Friend and mentor, Motilal was called in to perform the Kanyadaan. Mukesh was in private ...
Mukesh – Part 3
There were other actors who benefited from the use of Mukesh’s vocals. Dilip Kumar who openly admitted his admiration for the singer. The pensive ‘Mr. Bharat’ Manoj Kumar who used Mukesh’s voice in most of his films. ‘Tum bin jeevan kaise beeta poocho mere dil se’sings the forlorn Manoj to the reluctant sanyasin Sadhana in ...
