Hello Friends,
In continuation of our "Recap with Golden Retros" this week we bring you yet another masterpiece.
Geeta Dutt Special
Two singers who managed to survive the Lata onslaught in the 1950s were Shamshad Begam and Geeta Roy. Though relegated to the second spot, Geeta managed to hold her own against Lata for more than a decade and she and Lata were the premier two female playback singers of the 1950s. But her work up to now was mainly devotional. Then 1951 saw the release of film, Baazi and 'Tadbeer Se Bigdi Hui..' became a rage. Geeta's image was never the same after that. The jazzy musical score revealed a new facet to Geeta's singing. The appeal in her voice and the ease with which she went western was marvellous to behold. From then on in the 1950s for a club dance or a seductive song, the first choice was Geeta.
The first thing that strikes one when you hear Geeta Dutt sing is that she never sang. She just glided through a tune. Overheard by a music director, Hanuman Prasad, she was given two lines to sing in a 1946 film, "Bhakt Prahlad". The movie's success resulted in Dutt being invited to sing the soundtrack of the film, "Do Bhai", the following year. Dutt's popularity continued to grow. Between 1947 and 1949, she was the most successful playback singer in India.
