We have grouped here male singers who can be considered to have had noteworthy presence in the vintage era period.

There a few more songs identified with names of male singers in HFGK, but for the the time being these are not yet posted on YT, nor do I have any access to their digital versions, if they are available with some one.

For the purpose maintaining reasonable size of a post, we will take up next 10 songs next week.
Ashokji,
Your approach makes sure that nothing escapes your net? Your first para mentions 20 songs. I am sure this represents those songs which did not become superhits.

AKji,
These are the songs identified in HFGK by singer’s name and for which I could find a YT link.
There are at least 8 0 10 other songs here HFGK has mentioned singer but I could not locate the song on YT.
There was one Jagmohan song on YT but HFGK has not identified that by the singer’s name
I plan to search some more male and female songs and present them in a separate post in the end..
The biggest benefit to me is that AI get a good opportunity to acquaint myself with these songs, which would have remained unknown to me.
