Great Work at imitation of KL Saigal

The magic of the vocal mastery is simply superb, so soothing and calming!

Uska riyaaz bahut sundar hai!

Mits it is indeed soothing and way up there, the song was so popular that even Lata Mangeshkar in her tribute to the legends did this one as well

I am sure that K L would have been proud of Latji

Asj Bhai, Lata has done a superb job. Kindly check your PM.

Appreciate your kind contribution on this site for all of us to nostalgically enjoy - yes, Down Memory Lane. Thanks again.

Thanks for your kind words, Sir.

4) BAABUL MORAA NAIHAR CHOOTO HI JAAYE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm4wPgDqLyc

(Babul moraa naihar chooto hi jaaye)2
baabul moraa moraa naihar chooto jaaye
(baabul mora naihar chooto hi jaaye)2

chaar kahaar mile mori doliya sajaawen
mora apna begaana chooto jaaye
baabul mora naihar aa chooto hi jaaye

angana to parbat bhaya aur dehri bhayi bidesh
ye ghar baabul aapno main chali piya ke desh
baabul mora naihar chooto jaaye
baabul mora naihar chooto hi jaaye

The poem, a thumri

When Wajid Ali Shah Bahadur was expelled from Lucknow to Calcutta by Britishers, he wrote the parting poem Babul Mora, picturing the mind of a heart broken man. Although his takhalus (pen-name) was Qaisar, he used the pseudonym "Akhtarpiya" for his numerous compositions. Under this pen name, he wrote over forty works - poems, prose and Thumris. "Diwan-i-Akhtar", "Husn-i-Akhtar" contain his Ghazals. He is said to have composed many new ragasand named them Jogi, Juhi, Shah-Pasand, etc.He expressed his pain of parting in the lyrics of ‘Babul mora naihar chhuto jaye’


The lyrics mean roughly - The rough translation (the song can be a metaphor for a wedding as well as funeral procession)

My father! I'm leaving home.
The four bearers lift my doli (palanquin)

(here it can also mean the four coffin bearers).

I'm leaving those who were my own.
Your courtyard is now like a mountain,

and the threshold, a foreign country.

Dey died as a bachelor in Kolkata on November 28, 1962. Famous playback singer Manna Dey is his nephew.

Chaar dinon ki jhoothi aashaa
Pal mein tolaa pal mein maashaa
Gyaan taraazu leke haath mein tol sake to tol

Matalab ke sab hain sansaari
Jag mein teraa ho hitakaari
Tan man kaa sab jor lagaakar naam hari kaa bol

WE ARE FEATURING K.C. DEY

Dhoop Chhaon was a 1935 Hindi movie directed by Nitin Bose.

It was the first Hindi film to use playback singing. Before this, film makers did not use playback singers and the original actors and actresses sang their own songs. Curiously, actors were chosen specifically for their singing abilities. Nitin Bose came up with the idea of playback singing and he discussed this with music director R C Boral and his brother Mukul Bose, who was also the sound recordist in New Theatres, Calcutta. And it worked in a big way. From then on, the system of playback singing was introduced in Indian films.
