Ahhh Talat! I love his voice! ❤️
It's like velvet and wine, soft and intoxicating.
I missed his birthday! 😲🥺 (How could I?)😭
Anyways, I will write an elaborate tribute on him when I have more time on hand.
Ritu, JahanAra is a great album and of the Talat songs you posted, I especially love 'Phir wohi shaam'.
My dad owned a mix tape of some of his early songs and I grew up listening to them over and over. For me though, Talat is defined by his earlier works for Ghulam Mohammad, Anil Biswas, Salil da and the rest.
Imo, no one can beat him in Ghazals - and I say NO ONE! The reason I love Ghazals is Talat.
This very early (1944) non- film ghazal with music by Kamal Dasgupta and lyrics by Faiyyaz Hashmi has my heart...
Tasveer teri dil mera behla na sakegi
Ye teri tarah mujhse toh sharma na sakegi
Main baat karoonga toh ye khamosh rahegi
seene se laga loonga toh ye kuch na kahegi
aaraam woh kya degi jo tadpa na sakegi
