Great Post

The man with a golden voice and a music director of class

My favourite song is Vande Maataram sung by Lataji in AnandMath, I have not heard Lataji sing a song that breathlessly till now and that takes a lot from a MD

Then this song from khamoshi, Woh shaam kuch ajeeb thi(wonder how Hemantda would have felt in that song instead of Kishore)

Favourites songs as a singer, oh man where do I start
Bekarar karke Humein
Jaane woh kaise log the
Ya Dil ke suno Dunyiawalo
Yeh Nayan Dare Dare
missed so many

I would take him over any singer of today or a MD of today

Just my POV, you can have your own

Thanks Juggyji for the articles and also others who have posted other articles.
Hemantada is universally lovable...with a sweet voice and a sweet Bengali lisp. Best male voice to grace the Hindi films.
If I were to choose his three best, I would choose,
-Na yeh chand hoga
-teri duniya mein jeene se to behtar hai
-Chupa lo yun dil mein pyar mera

Geeta ji, I just started the thread. A lot more contributions came from Qwest and Soulsoup. If you get a chance, do download the one song that I've uploaded... A very "hat-ke" composition from Anand Math...

I just realised that majority of my fav songs are sung/composed by Hemant da, so he is my fav MD from now on. He composed music in few selected films but each one of them was classic. His songs have touched me most. 😊

...kehte hain mujhko Hawa Hawaii
Amit Puri

Kavita KrishnamurthySHARDA Krishnamurthi, aka Kavita Krishnamurthy, was exposed to classical music and dance from a very early age. Her father, a government official, and her mother encouraged her to learn music since childhood.

Jaya Chakravarty, Hema Malini's mother, suggested Kavita that she sing for Bollywood and try her luck in filmdom. Though her father was apprehensive initially, yet later Kavita managed to assure him that she would complete her college education first.

Kavita did her Bachelors in Economics from St. Xaviers' College, Mumbai, which helped her get some exposure. Later, she came across Ranu Mukherjee, a singer and the late composer-singer Hemant Kumar's daughter, who was her classmate. She introduced Kavita to her father. Kavita's first recording was a Bengali film duet with Lata Mangeshkar in 1971. Hemant Kumar was impressed by her performance and gave her chance to perform on stage with him. Later she sang with Manna De. She was widely noticed in the TV music show — Aarohi, with Manna De and got chances to do jingles. After a long struggle, her major success was the song Hawa hawaii for the film, Mr India.

Once on firm footing, she sang many songs for movies like Saaz, Mohra, Vinashak, 1942 - A Love Story, Eeshwar, Viraasat, Chaalbaaz, Gupt, Tere Mere Sapne, Hum dil de chuke sanam, Deewangi, Zubeidaa, Astitva, Moksha, Koi mil gaya and many more.

Geetaji why would you call his voice sweet?! His powerful baritone can be considered as masculine as could be.
And Bengali lisp!!?? I thought he had better diction than bengalis in general as he was from lucknow and grew up knowing hindi...and even when he sang the marathi song.. he was too good....
For all that he was a real treat to listen to 😊

Hello, qwertyji, My Friend in disagreement!!

Whoever told you, male voices cannot be sweet along with being masculine? Did I say, he sounded effeminate?šŸ˜•. Plz read carefully, I said he had the best voice amongst all the male singers.

And I am not talking about dictionšŸ˜•...his rendition of songs had a Bengali feel, touch to it. Nothing wrong in that! Infact that is what makes him so much more lovable.😃

Let us talk about his Marathi song qwertyji.šŸ˜‰.I can definitely tell you he didn't sound Maharashtrian in that. Ofcourse, he is wonderful in the song. I love that song, bcz as usual he is sweetšŸ˜‰
