Yet another RK - Nargis movie, Aashiana, this time with music by Madan Mohan, boasting tracks like Mere piya se koi jake keh de.

It features 2 Talat solos, one being Mera qaraar leja, mujhe beqaraar kar ja, that also has a female version sung by Lata Mangehkar.

The other is this beautifully painful melody - Talat sings this with so much feeling! 😭

Main paagal mera manwa paagal paagal meri preet re

paglepan ki peed woh jaane, bichde jiska meet re

Now on to the third of the triumvirate - Dev Anand.

Dev usually had Rafi, in the early days and then Kishore later playing back for him most, but he's also had songs sung by Hemantda and Talat.

This movie, Patita, boasts other gems like Yaad kiya dilne and Kisine apna banake mujhko but

this song never fails to make me cry, even more so when I watch it because the visual of Dev looking so serene, so calm, so kind, so gentle, stroking Usha Kiron's hair as she lays her head on his lap while lip-syncing to the heart-breaking song by Shailendra, is a visual that gives me goosebumps and lump the size of a golf ball in my throat.

The first verse, seemingly is inspired by Shelley's poem "Our sweetest songs are those that tell of the saddest thought" translating into "Hain sabse madhur woh geet jinhe hum dard ke sur mein gaate hain"

The music by SJ is unusually subdued, unlike the heavy orchestration they normally use, and creates a mood that is so apt for this song.

And Talat- what do I say about Talat's voice here? If all elements have come together to create perfection and just one ingredient remains that will complete it, then it's Talat's vocals.

Amazingly, achingly beautiful! 😭👏

kaanton mein khile hain phool humare rang bhare armaanon ke

naadan hai jo in kaanton se daman ko bachaye jaate hain

pehlu mein paraye dard basake hasna hasana seekh zara

toofan se keh de ghir ke uthe, hum pyaar ke deep jalate hain

Thanks pjyo for sharing this. I really enjoyed listening to Talat speaking about his seniors and contemporaries, he seems to hold Lata and Mannada in high regard. I had never heard the duet with Asha before and not the song from Ek gaon ki kahani either. The 2 non-film songs were good too.

Jaimala - sigh - those were the days when the radio had programs worth listening to!

Gham ki andheri raat mein is such a great song! Wonder why Rafi and he didn't sing together more?

And "Mohabbat tark ki maine" is simply wonderful.

Enjoyed this one!!

Here's another one from "Roop ki rani choron ka raja", a Talat solo, another unusual SJ composition.

aaj sabr ka bhi haath humse chootne laga

ab toh baat baat par dil bhi roothne laga

kya gazab hai har koi humko lootne laga

tum toh dil ke taar chhedkar ho gaye bekhabar

chand ke tale jalenge hum ae sanam raat bhar

Here are 2 gorgeous Talat - Lata duets. Truly these 2 create magic together!

The first one is from Anmol Ratan (1950), music by Vinod and lyrics by DN Madhok. This movie also has the beautiful ghazal by Talat - Jab kisike rukh pe zulfein aake lehrane lagi...

Shikwa tera mai gaoon dil mein samanewale

bhoole se yaad karle o bhool jane wale

Just listen to the way Talat sings -

Ae aah (⭐️) mera bhed kahin khol na dena!

The other one is "Mohabbat mein aise zamane bhi aaye, kabhi ro diye hum kabhi muskuraye" from Sagai (1951). This one has C. Ramchandra as MD and lyrics by Rajinder Krishan. The opening bars are so sweet and the whole tune has a romantic feel to it, doesn't seem like a sad song much..

Talat sings:

banaya tha ek aashiyan do dilon ne

zamane ke aandhi ne tinke udaye
