The Micro View of The Best Songs of 1950 @ Songs of Yore – Male Solo Songs – Mukesh

We now take up another major category – Male Solo Songs – during our journey of the review of ‘Best songs of 1950: And the winners are?’.

The first scrutiny of the List of Memorable Songs shows relatively less strong presence of Male Solo Songs. So go back to the basics and pick up Hindi Film Geet Kosh to make the universe of our current micro-review wide enough. It does primarily help to listen to as many songs as are available on YT, thereby get a far better feel of the topic under discussion. As a bonus, you get to listen to many songs that have simply remained unnoticed.

The exercise is certainly worth every grain of efforts that it called for. The expanded list gave a wonderful opportunity to listen to several music directors now relegated to very deep grey of the oblivion, some very bold experiments and, of course, listening to many unheard songs of Ghulam Mustafa Durrani (aka G M Durrani).

We first pick up Mukesh’s solo songs for the year 1950.
