@takallum True that no singer would attempt this song on the original scale. Chitra has in fact lowered the scale by a semitone.

@FrozenMermaid666 I'm sorry, but there's no C7 in this rendition. The highest note is a B6. And if I'm not mistaken, Mado Robin sang a D7 too, in a *live* performance in Vichy. Boy, what wouldn't I give to get those recordings!

Thanks a lot for the amazing videos! I have been looking everywhere for the song 'o raat ke musaafir' by Lata Mangeshkar from the movie 'Karwan', 1956. Music was given by S Mohinder. Would you happen to have that song as well? :)

@tallorder9 Do you really think it's better than Billie Holiday'? Or Frank's?

@cobebac You know it's not just about having a wide range. It's about how well you use it and how good you sound across registers. Singers have had wider ranges but very rarely has all of it been aesthetically pleasing or musically useful. Julie Andrews is one glorious exception. The B5 at the en...
