• Who was your favourite composer?

I liked singing for Salilda (Salil Chowdhury) because his compositions were very challenging. I also loved singing for Sajjad Husain saab, then definitely SD Burman dada and RD. But in my opinion the biggest achievement was by Shankar-Jaikishan. With Raj Kapoor's Barsaat they changed the way we looked at playback singing.

😲 😲 I am very very disturbed and disappointed reading this response from Lata. However I am not totally sure if she failed mentioning the Late Madan Mohan or if the reporter who posted this story simpy bypassed his name. Some of Lata's best songs were composed by the Late Madan Mohan.

She mentioned Barbara Streisand as a great singer in her view. She mentioned liking Symphony but not Opera.

As for Barbara Streisand here are two of her songs

1. Woman in Love
