Remembering Lata Mangeshkar: 5 Evergreen Songs By Nightingale Of India

By -

SEPTEMBER 27,2024

2022 marked one of the darkest phases for Bollywood music industry. We lost many legendary singers including the iconic Lata Mangeshkar. It is safe to say she is the one of the few Indian singers who gave us songs that spoke to our souls.

On her birth anniversary, Radio City pays her a tribute by remembering some of Lata Mangeshkar's evergreen songs that prove 'unki aawaz he unki pehchaan hain.'

Proudly known as the Nightangle of India, the late singer redefined Bollywood music by giving a new meaning to every word the lyricist wrote. Pouring out emotions in every note, she was loved by every music buff.

Let's revsit some of her iconic and timeless songs.

1. Lag Jaa Gale

No one, aboslutely no one can debate about this song not being on your mid-night playlist. Every time someone mentions Lag Jaa Gale, we automatically sing "Humko mili hain aaj yeh ghadiyaa naseeb se!"

2. Ajib Dastan Hai Ye

Another Bollywood gem, this was the OG song to celebrate unrequited love. Every tune, every word, every note just makes you humm along. Who wouldn't remember the "Mubarakein tumhe ke tum kisi ke noor ho gaye.."

3. Aap Ki Nazron Ne Samjha

This one is our personal favorite. The popular romantic track from Anpadh continues to be on every Lata Mangeshkar fan's playlist. With lyrics carrying deep meaning, what adds finesse to this song is the singer's melodious voice.

4. Bahon Mein Chale Aao

Imagine sensually teasing your partner in an era when even holding hands would be considered as physical intimacy. This evergreen song by the legendary singer is definitely a must-add to your playlist.

5. Luka Chuppi

You would be lying if you said you never felt goosebumps and were left teary-eyed every time this song played. Pouring out a mother's emotions who lost her child is a pain that no one can ever imagine.

Did you know, Lata Di actually cried twice in the recording studio before she could sing Luka Chuppi perfectly. We mean, who wouldn't!



Radio City remembers Lata Mangeshkar with these iconic songs and many more. We miss you.
