Music profile: Lata Mangeshkar


When legendary playback singer Lata Mangeshkar speaks, India listens.she is a perfect signer hers awards says her perform The lady, who has carefully avoided singing songs she considered vulgar in her long and illustrious career, is not satisfied with the new generation of singers. For starters, she says, they lack originality and self-respect. Why would anyone want to sing such vulgar lyrics and dance in such shocking costumes, she questions.
Fame and fortune did not come easily to her. She began singing when she was still a child - at 12 - because her father Dinanath Mangeshkar’s death meant that she, as the eldest, had to provide for her family. She wonders why remixes are being touted as ‘new albums’ - again, this reflects a lack of originality. Genuine talent is all about making new music, not remixing old hit songs and marketing them to the younger generation. Isn’t there anything new this generation has to offer? Right again.
She reasons that music makers who insist that the public demand this kind of music are just making excuses for their lack of creativity. Give them something new and the public will embrace it, says the 77-year-old doyen.she play well with the lyrics She feels that lyricists and music composers could do better. Right again.
As a child, she remembers being interested in classical and folk music which helped her hone her skills. She stumbled into film music because she had to earn a living. Besides, her family was already in the moviemaking business. Singing in films seemed the natural step. After a career spanning decades as Bollywood's most famous playback singer, Lata continues to provide competition to singers much, much younger than her. She sings for heroines who are just making their debut - such is the beauty of her evergreen voice. To Lata, her career is the result of destiny and fate. To those who have watched her over the years, her career is the result of sheer hard work, determination and a talent bordering on genius.
Lata even acted to earn a living. In the 1945 film Badi Maa, Lata and Asha Bhosle, her sister, acted with Noorjehan. Lata sang for herself and her sister. The end of the 1940s saw her take up her true vocation - singing. She first sang for the Marathi movie Kiti Hasaal in 1942 and in Hindi for Aap Ki Seva Mein in 1947. However, she hit big time with Majboor in 1948 - her first duet ‘Ab darne ki kya baat’ with Mukesh. Her really big break came with the ‘Ayega anewla’ number in Mahal in 1949. Still, the singer’s name in the credits was Kamini, the name of the role played by heroine Madhubala in the film.
here we have to talk about the tamils songs and Hindi songs every thing she play well,she never absent from her role.
