The Micro View of Songs of 1943 – Female Solo Songs – MY Top Female Solo Songs

The process of selecting the TOP song / singer for the year 1943 is absolutely subjective, since most of the songs I had got to hear for the first time. In any case, from the point of view of my limited knowledge and basic taste in so far as the vintage era songs, I could not find any other method.

I have not repeated here those singers whose only one solo song could come up during the Micro Analysis.

So, here are the songs that would call for MY TOP slot from the female solo Songs for 1943, in the order in which the singer has appeared in the detailed Micro View earlier.:

And, there could be even some more which in spite of being known and being available on YT, may not have been noticed by me during this Micro Analysis of Solo Songs of 1943., mainly because of inadequate knowledge of the vintage era Hindi film songs.
