The Micro View of Best Songs of 1947 : Female Solo Songs – Zohrabai Ambalewali [1]

That Zohrabai essentially was a versatile and lively singer is borne well by the wide range of songs that we get in her voice for 1947. There are a few films wherein she has almost all female singers to her account, whereas she has been equally at ease in rendering the kotha songs too. On the whole, her full expressiveness was not fully explored!

Fairly large numbers of her songs this year has necessitated splitting he solo songs over two posts.
