what makes for a good singer - Page 6

Strange that Salil Choudhury didn't mind using Mukesh for "maine tere liye hi" and other songs in Anand when Mukesh was also classically untrained. Salil missed a golden chance to work with KK, who if challenged could do just anything.

Thanks vipul!

Punjini, Mukesh wasn't classically untrained. He was definitely trained. Otherwise, how could he have pulled off Sangeet Samrat Tansen?

Yes, Salilda did miss out on KK.

I liked Mukesh voice too but I think he had a very short range.

If you listen to Jhoomti chali hawa, at the end of the song Mukesh's voice cracked when he tried his best to go on high pitch.

idiot Ganja, how dare he miss out on Talat?😡😡😡

Talat's my top favourite with Rafi. Shaam-E-Gham ki Qasam is a masterpiece. Khayyam's composition. Khayyam did a lot of Ghazal albums with Talat...each ghazal is a delight to listen to. Perfect diction, perfect throw, perfect emotion...perfect sur!

about 15-20 yrs ago, there was a program dedicated to Talat on Doordarshan, Sunday afternoon, Program was titled Shaam E gham ki kasam. From that day I was hooked onto Talat for about 5 yrs. (I used to be a fan of Samantha Fox and Madonna before that, so I can understand people's attraction to HR😆)

I have to thank Talat's Sham-E-gham-ki Kasam for this

just wanted to share

punjini, i don't quite agree that the songs from Sangeet Samrat Tansen didn't require classical training. Come on, Jhoomti Chali Hawa is HECK TOUGH!

Abhi,

if SPb can pull off Shankarabharanam, why not Mukesh? Mukesh was not trained at all. I have read it in many places. That is why his songs do not see much harkatein...

I agree. I think Mukesh's voice cracked at the end of the song "Joohmti chali hawa" at high pitch. Hw was good for meduim scale songs and really suited sad songs of golden era.

Yes, Jhoomti Chali hawa was tough, but somehow it wasn't cast in a classical mould as the other Sohini that I adore "kuhu kuhu bole koyaliya".

One film Half ticket by the two is good enough for 10. One of the best KK songs filled with masti, fun and frolick.
