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.

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
