I love her voice - it's so rich and full of depth. She could bring out playfulness, sensuality, sorrow, devotion - you name it and she could produce it.

What a rich, amazing legacy she left behind. Her personal life unfortunately cut short her career, else we could have been blessed with many more Geeta Dutt songs.

What are your favorite Geeta Dutt songs?

If music is a playground then she played really well

One fine afternoon as a teenager, I was listening to Radio Ceylon when I heard this song. With an epiphany, I focused my attention on the uniqueness of this voice.

Later, when I read her life narrative, shocked and struck me. All three artists (Waheeda Rehman, Guru Dutt, Geeta Dutt) in that story are outstanding artists in their respective fields.

Since then, whenever I hear the name Geeta Dutt, I see a woman; a deep-eyed, gorgeous figure with a melodic voice appears in front of my eyes. Those eyes are a bundle of life's poems—they depict a smoothly flowing, deep river and the uncontrollable tidal waves of a violent ocean! I began to admire her artistic element.

Unfortunately, Meena Kumari, Geeta Dutt, and Mahanati Savitri perished as a result of male avarice and, subsequently, alcoholism consumed them with their misery

Any song and every song by Geeta is one of my all-time favorites.

One thread for music and musicians, for all outstanding artists. It's a fantastic idea, and you put in a lot of effort and time to create this thread. Thank you Lizzi.

Today, Dec 4 is Shashi Kapoor's death anniversary.

I always nurtured a little bit of a crush on him. I mean who wouldn't? He is probably counted among the most handsome actors to ever grace the Hindi Film Industry. The man was gorgeous and charming - that 1000 megawatt smile and those crooked teeth. Sigh! Even his heroines - Sharmila Tagore and Shabana Azmi have admitted to being reduced to blushing messes around him. Though Shammi will always be my fave Kapoor clan hero, Shashi comes a close second. I've watched so many of his movies and his acting always rang with sincerity. It's a fallacy that he always played the good guy/ good cop/ good husband. I mean have you seen him in Junoon or Heat and Dust or Kalyug? The man could act his pants off and how! He was so much more than just a pretty face.

Found this candid interview by him : https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/news/shashi-kapoor-death-anniversary-when-late-actor-revealed-why-he-joined-films-1262932#:.

I have watched a lot of his 70s and 80s movies and enjoyed them but somehow B &W Shashi hits different. The amount of eye candy in The Householder! Goodness me!

Posting some of my favorite Shashi Kapoor songs in the post below and hope you will too!
