The Micro View of The Best Songs of 1950 @ Songs of Yore – Female Solo Songs– Lata Mangeshkar songs of C Ramchandra

The well – established review format of ‘Best songs of year’ takes up an in-depth review at four broad levels:

Best male playback singer Best female playback singer Best duets Best music director

We will first take up Female Solo Songs. End of 40s and very early years of 50s did see a very distinct transition from the female playback singers of the vintage era to the near-complete hold period of Lata Mangeshkar. That has necessitated two sub-divisions within the category of Female Solo Songs – Songs of Lata Mangeshkar and The Songs of Other Leading Female Playback Singers. So here we go with Memorable Songs of Lata Mangeshkar for the year 1950: Among various music directors who used Lata Mangeshkar’s voice in the year 1950, C Ramchandra, Husnlal Bhagatram and Ghulam Mohammad seem to account for a large share of the songs. Presently, we will listen to the memorable songs of Lata Mangeshkar under the baton of C Ramchandra.

In July 2011, I opted to retire from my active career as a practicing management professional. In the 38 years that I pursued this career, I had opportunity to work in diverse capacities, in small-to-medium-to-large engineering companies. Whether I was setting up Greenfield projects or Brownfield projects, nurturing the new start-ups or accelerating the stabilized unit to a next phase growth, I had many more occasions to take the paths uncharted. The life then was so challenging! One of the biggest casualty in that phase was my disregards towards my hobbies - Be with The Family, Enjoy Music form Films of 1940s to mid-1970s period, write on whatever I liked to read, pursue amateur photography and indulge in solving the chess problems. So I commenced my Second Innings to focus on this area of my life as the primary occupation. At the end of four years, I am now quite a regular blogger. I have been able to build a few very strong pen-relationships. I maintain contact with 38-years of my First Innings as freelance trainer and process facilitator. And yet, The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. View all posts by ASHOK M VAISHNAV
