There are only a few singers in the subcontinent who can match the legendry stature of Lata Mangeshkar. Popularly known as “The Nightingale of India” she has given a huge number of super hit tracks to her listeners. Her melodious voice and superior vocal range are so unique that songs performed by her are seldom replicated.
With hundreds of chartbusters to her name, it was a tough task to compile the list of the best 20 tracks. Starting her journey in 1943 at a tender age of 13 she quickly became the first choice for most of the music composers back then. Thus, she is termed as “god gifted” as she did not have a proper vocal training at that time.
Most of her hit tracks were composed by S D Burman, Madan Mohan and R D Burman. In a span of 35 years she recorded over 25,000 songs in 20 languages which put her name in the Guinness Book of Records as the most recorded artist in the history. Thus, compiling a small list of her work can never do justice with her broad range of composition. We can claim to enlist some of her best work but then everyone has a different taste in music.
It is an honor for us to present before you the most popular songs graced by the queen of melody. Keep everything aside to relive those moments when Indian music was blooming exceptionally without having much technical expertise. You will also be able to experience other top quality talents she has worked with as the list goes on.
