lata -sajjad hussain

Lata and Sajjad come together was only a handful of songs (14 to be precise) but what resulted is considered to be a miracle in the realms of musical history of Hindi Films.. and this film was like the prima donna of this magical music kingdom.

Alongwith a couple of Shamshad solos, a Geeta solo, a Meena Kapoor solo (both which are in true sense of the word, beautiful) and a few GM Durrani solos stands strong two Lata Mangeshkar songs in this film which definitely make a staunch mark on the listeners. Penned by Sagar Nizami, here is LataDi’s hauntingly nerve-shivering ‘jaate ho to jao hum bhi yahaaN waadoN ke sahaare jee lenge..’ from KHEL (1950) Lata sang 14 songs for Sajjad Hussain, details are provided below :-
