Let us know some thing about Lata Mangeshkar profile. Lata Mangeshkar is the only second Indian singer to have received the
Bharat Ratna.In fact, no other Indian singer of non-classical music has been awarded anything higher than the Padma Bhushan,the nation's third highest civilian honour as of April 2007. Popular singer
Asha Bhosle happens to be one of her sisters.
Mangeshkar was born in
Indore,
Madhya Pradesh to a classical singer and theatre actor named
Dinanath Mangeshkar and his second wife named
Shudhmati Mangeshkar (also known as Mai Mangeshkar). The Mangeshkars were a
middle-class Maharashtrian family. Lata was the firstborn child, to be followed by siblings
Hridayanath Mangeshkar,
Asha Bhosle,
Usha Mangeshkar and
Meena Mangeshkar.
Child wood: Know the childwood of the famous singer.
Raised in
Maharashtra, at the age of 5 Mangeshkar started working as an actress in several plays known as "sangeet nataks" in which her father was performing. Her father also started giving her singing lessons. Dinanath's recitals and lessons left a strong impression on his daughter, as did the music of
K.L. Saigal, who was her father's favorite singer and her idol.
1940s
Mangeshkar's first Film song was for the
Marathi film
Kiti Hasaal (
1942), produced by
Vasant Joglekar. However, her father was not interested the idea of any of his daughters singing for movies, so the song was dropped from the film.
In 1942, Mangeshkar's father passed away by heart attack. Due to the death of her father and the resultant financial distress, Lata played cameo roles in many Hindi and Marathi films, despite not personally enjoying acting.
In 1945,
Ghulam Haider took her to meet producer S. Mukherji, who was working on a movie starring
Kamini Kaushal. Haider wanted the 16-year-old Mangeshkar to get a chance to sing, but the producer dismissed her voice. Annoyed, Haider said, "Let me foretell today that this girl will soon put to shame everyone else, including Noor Jehan. Producers and directors will fall at her feet, begging her to sing in their films."
[6]Mangeshkar's big break came with the 1949 song "Aayega Aanewaala" from the movie
Mahal for
Madhubala and was composed by
Khemchand Prakash. Mahal was a hit, a turning point for both Madhubala and Mangeshkar.
1950s
The
1950s saw Mangeshkar soar to the top of the heap of Bollywood singers. She recorded songs for all the major composers of the period, including Shankar Jaikishan,
Naushad,
S D Burman,
C. Ramchandra,
Hemant Kumar, and
Salil Chowdhury.
Shankar Jaikishan used Lata as their female singer in all the movies they scored, mainly for
Raj Kapoor. These movies include
Aag,
Aah (
1953),
Shree 420 (
1955), and
Chori Chori (
1956). Some famous Lata tunes from these movies include "Mera Ang Ang Muskaya" (from Aah), "Ichak Dana Bichak Dana" (from Shree 420), and "Panchhi Banoon Udti Phiroon" (from Chori Chori).ui
Lata also became the main female singer for Naushad during the 1950s, beginning with
Baiju Bawra (
1952). Naushad's tunes were all classical
raga-based compositions, and Mangeshkar turned out hits such as "Mohe Bhool Gaye Sanwariya" and "Bachpan Ki Mohabbat Ko" for Baiju Bawra.
S.D. Burman used Lata as his female singer for hit songs such as "Tum Na Jaane Kis Jahan Mein Kho Gaye" from Sazaa (
1951), "Phaili Hui Hai Sapnon Ki Baahen" from House No. 44 (1955), and "Ab Aage Teri Marzi" from
Devdas (1955). In
1957, however, Mangeshkar and Burman had a major falling-out, and Lata refused to record for him again until
1962. During this time, Burman groomed Asha Bhosle, Lata's younger sister, as his main female voice, and also utilized
Geeta Dutt as well.
It was also during the 1950s that Lata formed her association with one of her absolute favourite composers, Salil Chowdhury. In 1953, Mangeshkar recorded "Aa Ri Aa Nindiya" from
Do Bigha Zameen for "Salilda."
1958 saw the release of the
Bimal Roy-directed blockbuster
Madhumati, starring
Dilip Kumar and
Vyjayantimala. Chowdhury provided the music for the film, and "Aaja Re Pardesi" stands as one of Lata's most famous songs. It netted her her first
Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer.
1960s
The 1950s saw Mangeshkar make her case to enter the upper echelons of Bollywood music. However, it was the
1960s that saw Lata become the undisputed queen of Bollywood playback singing. She recorded songs for nearly every major composer in the industry, many of which became all-time hits.
1960 saw Lata render numerous hits for various music directors. She teamed up with Naushad to produce "Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya" for the lavish
Mughal-era romance
Mughal-E-Azam, perhaps the most popular song from that film. She also recorded several duets with
Mohammad Rafi under Naushad's baton for
Kohinoor, including the timeless "Do Sitaron Ka Zameen Par." For Shankar Jaikishan, she rendered the
Hawaiian-themed number "Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh" from
Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai, picturized on Bollywood's tragedy queen,
Meena Kumari. Finally, her partnership with Salil Chowdhury continued to bear fruit in the classical-tinged "O Sajana Barkha Bahaar" from Parakh.
In
1961, Mangeshkar took the first step on the road to reconciliation with
S D Burman, as she recorded a
bhajan, "Allah Tero Naam," for Burman's assistant,
Jaidev. One of Lata's finest devotional pieces, it is said to have awakened eminent classical vocalist
Pandit Jasraj from his sleep, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
1962 saw Lata record perhaps her most famous song, a patriotic song- "Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon" that was composed by
C. Ramchandra and had its lyrics written by
Pradeep. A moving tribute to Indian soldiers who fell in the
Sino-Indian War, the song is said to have moved the then Prime Minister,
Jawaharlal Nehru, to tears when sang at the
Indian Parliament. That year, she bagged her second Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer for the haunting "Kahin Deep Jale, Kahin Dil" from the movie Bees Saal Baad, composed by
Hemant Kumar.
In
1963, Mangeshkar returned to collaboration with S.D. Burman, mainly as a result of a truce brokered by Burman's son, budding Bollywood composer (and future brother-in-law)
R.D. Burman. The sugary sweet "Mora Gora Ang Lai Le" picturized on
Nutan was a huge hit from the movie
Bandini, directed by Bimal Roy. In
1965, she produced some more hits under Burman's direction for
Guide, including "Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai" and "Gaata Rahe Mera Dil" (the latter a duet with
Kishore Kumar).
Along with Salil Chowdhury,
Madan Mohan was another of Mangeshkar's favourite composers. Madan Mohan created the
ghazal "Aap Ki Nazron Ne Samjha" from
Anpadh in 1962; the pair would produce many other memorable songs over the years.
1964 in particular saw the release of
Raj Khosla's
Woh Kaun Thi?, which featured music by Madan Mohan. "Naina Barse Rim Jhim" was a haunting yet emotional number from this movie which also garnered huge popularity.
The 1960s also witnessed the beginning of Mangeshkar's relationship with
Laxmikant-Pyarelal, the duo for which she would sing the most songs in her career. She recorded for them in their first Bollywood film, Parasmani, in 1963, and continued to work with them in films such as Dosti (1964), Farz (
1967), and
Milan (1967), continuing on into the 1970.
1970s
Mangeshkar performed tracks for star Meena Kumari, again, this time in the film
Pakeezah (
1971), with music by
Ghulam Mohammed.
S.D. Burman's final films were in the 1970s, before falling into a coma and dying in
1975. Lata performed in the films
Prem Pujari,
Sharmilee (1971), and
Abhimaan (
1973). In Abhimaan she performed vocals at the age of 44, for 25-year-old actress
Jaya Bachchan.
Teaming up once more with Salil Chowdhury she performed in the film
Annadata (1971) and the title song of
Chhoti Si Baat (1974). She also released an album of Meera bhajans composed by her brother. The album was titled "Chala Vaahi Des". Some of the bhajans in the album include "saanware rang raachi" and "ud jaa re kaaga".
Continuing their relationship from the 60's into the 70's, Lata and Laxmi-Pyare were together again (with Rahul Dev Burman in the mix). Writers Anand Bakshi and
Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote most of the tracks, penning songs for the films
Amar Prem (1971),
Caravan (1971), and Raj Kapoor's
Satyam Shivam Sundaram (
1978). Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar performed songs for R D Burman and lyricist
Gulzar in the film
Aandhi in 1975. R D Burman also effectively tapped the melody in Lata's throat in the songs of the wonderful film Kinara, famous for "Naam gum jaayega" and "abke na saawan barse".
Mangeshkar performed in 1976 for composer Khayyam and songwriter Sahi Ludhiyanvi for the film
Kabhi Kabhie, and again with Khayyam in
Shankar Hussain in 1977 and "Chambal ki Kasam" in 1979. She also sang for Naushad in "Chambal ki Raani".
In late 1970s and early
1980s, Lata worked with the children of composers she had earlier worked with. Apart from Sachin and Rahul Dev Burman, Lata worked has worked with Chitragupta and his sons Anand-Milind, Roshan and his son
Rajesh Roshan, and Sardar Malik and his son
Anu Mallik. Rajesh Roshan's first film Julie had some numbers sung by Lata, including Bhool gaya sab kuchh (duet with Kishore Kumar) and Yeh Raatein Nai Puraani.
Lata also sang in
Raj Kapoor`s
Ram Teri Ganga Maili, singing songs composed by the blind composer
Ravindra Jain.
Apart from that, Mangeshkar has sung in many
Rajshri Production movies, including the hit
Maine Pyar Kiya.
