The Micro View of Best Songs of 1946 @ SoY – Female Solo Songs – Other Singers – 2

In the second part of Solo Songs of the Other Female Singers, we have fairly reasonable number of songs per singer, even after discounting the availability of the YT links. Two otf these singers are playback singers and have songs in more than one film, and two are actress-singers and have song for only ne film.

Solo Songs of Beenapani Mukherjee

Beenapani Mukherjee had 5 solos in ‘Durban’ (Muisc: Gulshan Sufi),  one in Rangbhoomi (Music: Premnath), but none of the songs seems to have a digital version available on net. As a result, I had to, reluctanatly, move her solo songs to the ‘Other Female Singers’.

Main To Karoon Pyar, Piya Door Se Bharmae – Safar – C Ramchandra – G S Nepali

Ghar Ki Shobha Hai Santan,,,,Kaisi Daulat Kya Sanmaan – Santan – Ramchandra Pal – Anjum Pilibhiti

Solo Songs of Shusheela Rani

Sushila Rani is in the classic vintage era role of actor-singer here. She, being the leading lady of the film, has 5 solo songs in ‘Gavalan’, but digital links for only two songs seem to be available on net.

Fariyad Karein Kisse, Kismat Ne Rulaya Hai – Gvalan – Hansraj Behl – Pt. Indra

Gulnar Joban Rar Machae, Galiyan Man, O Galiyan Man – Gvalan – Hansraj Behl – Pt. Indra

Solo Songs of Jayshree

Jayshree is the lead actress in the film Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani, and as such also sings her own songs in the film.

Nai Dulhan….Main Hun Nanhi Nai Dulhan – Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani – Vasant Desai – Diwan Sharar

Chit Dole, Nit Dole, Subaho Sham Prabhuji – Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani – Vasant Desai – Diwan Sharar

Hans Hans Ke, Hans Hans Ke Aai Ho, Phool Khile Ped Hile   – Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani – Vasant Desai – Diwan Sharar  – with chorus

Chal Aa…Gulami Nahi Tu Josh Mein Aa, Ye Desh Hai Tera – Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani – Vasant Desai – Diwan Sharar

HFGK notes that the lyrics and tune of this song is based on famous Chinese war song ‘Chilai’

The Micro View of Best Songs of 1947 : Female Solo Songs – Other Female Singers and Lata Mangeshkar [5]

Hamida Bano

Hamida Bano is also a member of Hindi Film World’s Lahore club, who had to remain contended with an ‘also ran’ tag in her career. One can see many more of the songs to her crdit in HFGK for 1947, but YT links to all these songs have not yet been established.

Champakali Hai Udaas, Bhanwara Na Jaye Paas – Chhin Le Azadi – Hansraj Behl – Pandit Indra

Hamara Master Khuda Kare Beemar Ho Jae – Dekhojee – Sabir Hussain – Wali Sahab

Hum To Barabaad Hue Ab To Koi Abaad Rahe – Kaun Hamara – Bulo C Rani –

Ham Tumhare Tum Hamare Aao Kare Pyar – Lakon Mein Ek – Hans Raj Behl – Pandit Indra

Tu Kahan Chhupa Bhagwan, Tera Milata Nahi Nishan – Lakon Mein Ek – Hans Raj Behl – Pandit Indra

Beenapani Mukherjee

Lakho Ke Bol Sahe, Sanwariya Tere Liye Maine – Leela – C Ramchandra – G S Nepali

Naian Jal Bhar Aaye – Samrat Ashok – Gyan Dutt – Shams Lakhanavi

Sitara Devi

HFGK mentiones Sitara as the singer for these solo songs. I have there fore assumed that she is Sitara Devi( in any case different than Sitara(Kanpuri)).

Bhoole Se Dil Tujhe Na Bhulaye To Kya Karoon – Amar Asha – Shanti Kumar – Qabil Amrutsari

Soz –e-Gam Deke Mujhe Usne Ye Irshad Kiya – Shahzadi – S K Pal –

Lata Mangeshkar:

It is not for long that Lata Mageshkar will have more than three times the song then most of the other female singers. In fact, we have found it necessary to run the micro view of Hindi Film Songs right from year 1948 onwards werein it is almost Lata Mangeshkar on side and other playback singers on the other.

Ek Naye Rang Mein – Aap Ki Sewa Mein – Datta Davjekar – Mahipal

Pa Lagu Kar Jori Re – Aap Ki Sewa Mein – Datta Davjekar – Mahipal

Ab Kaun Sunega Mere Man Ki Baat – Aap Ki Sewa Mein – Datta Davjekar – Mahipal

Thus ends our rather protracted micro view of solo songs of the female singers for 1947.  However, one will find several solo songs in HFGK that do not appear here. These are the songs that would essentaially belong to quite and unknown singer (as far as I am concerned) and number of songs ) . Moreover the numbers also may either be very insignificant or the YT links of these songs are not available.

In our next episode I plan to sum up My Top Female Solo Songs for 1947.
