Duet From Street Singer (K.L.Saigal and Kanan Devi)

simply exemplary.

What a beautiful song. Kanan Devi was among those seasoned classic singers like KL Saigal, Khursheed, Surinder, Shamshad, Begum Akhtar, KC Day, Suraya etc. They were assets to the fine arts belonging to the Subcontinent. Never to be reborn. While I am not that old but I become fond of their music because my father still listens to them.

I am also, like you, fond of Kanan Devi's music and voice. She sang better than Lata Mangeshkar. Also listen to her songs in Bengali. You can find those CD in Mumbai in a few selected places. Her best that many people know are: Chhupo Na Jana Aye Chand Chup Na Jana, Toofan Mail (Jawab of Ashok Kumar), and then many many old songs.

The actress is Leela Chitnis, is she not? In the 1960s she was doing mother's roles.

[dkapasi4]

I think not. The actress in this video is Kanan Devi or Kananbala, the infamous Indian singer of 40s. She sang Tufan Mail song and many many classic Hindi and Bengali songs. She sang better quality than the infamous Lata Mangeshkar. LM credited her for her initial songs.
