Lata Mangeshkar (Marathi: लता मंगेशकर; born September 28, 1929) is a singer from India. She is one of the best-known playback singers in the Hindi film industry. Mangeshkar's career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades. She sang in over a thousand Bollywood movies and has sung songs in over twenty regional Indian languages, but primarily in Hindi. She is the elder sister of the equally accomplished singer Asha Bhosle and lesser-known singers, brother Hridayanath Mangeshkar and sisters Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. Lata is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.

Mangeshkar was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world.

Filmfare Awards

The Filmfare Awards for playback singing first started in 1958. In 1956, the song 'Rasik Balma' from the film Chori Chori won the Best Song Filmfare Award. Lata refused to sing it live in protest of absence of a Playback Singer category. The category was finally introduced in 1958. Though, separate awards for male & female singers were introduced later on.

Lata Mangeshkar monopolized the best female playback singer award from 1958 to 1966. In 1969, Lata made the unusual gesture of giving up Filmfare awards in order to promote fresh talent...........

@1966 - You are most welcome, my dear friend.

By the way, due to your user name [the first English letters], You Tube does not allow us to communicate with you [automatically] so I cut down those letters and sending this reply.

First time I experienced such a problem. LOL

Thank you.

Madan Mohan was one of our best (I keep going between him and Nausad) - you listen to Dastak or Haqeeqat, you know it. But I think, we as listeners, need to praise the lyricists - where would our musicians be without Kaifi Azmi, Sahir Ludhianvi or even Anand Bakshi? These people were not mere song writers - they were poets who vocalized deep emotions that ordinary mortals cannot, which also to me is the reason for the decline of the quality of Hindi movie music...
