        Song: Chandaa Ki Chandani Me Zume-Zume Dil Mera
                Zume-Zume Dil Mera [2] ....

        Film:   Poonam (1952)
        Music:  Shankar Jaikishan
        Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   ?

In this film, Shankar Jaikishan created  a  sort  of  record,  by
going  all-Lata.  Film has total 8 songs, and all are by Lata and
only Lata! This 'Zume-Zume Dil Mera' number is biggest  hit  from
the  film.  In fact, it has such a nice tune and rhythm head does
start to oscillate with song. Beautiful creation.

My other favourite from this film is a song by Shailendra

        Do Din Ki Zindagi Me Dukhade Hain Beshumaar, Dukhade Hain
Beshumaar
        Hai Zindagi Usi Ki Hans Hans Ke De Guzaar, Hans  Hans  Ke
De Guzaar

Light orchestration matches well with song  and  it's  mood.  One
more Shailendra song, which is pretty is

        Din Suhaane (2), Mausam Bahaar Ka
        Dil Ye Chaahe, Geet Gaun Main Pyaar Ka

"Aayi Aayi Raat Suhaani' and 'Taqdeer Ka Shiqvaa Kaun  Kare'  are
decent  songs.   Both are by Hasrat Jaipuri. But the real gem was
this following Hasrat Jaipuri- Jaikishan-Lata combination:

        Ab To Aa Jao Sanam, Furkat Ke Maare Ro Diye
        Hal Par Duniya To Duniya, Chaand Sitaare Ro Diye

A soft, melodious, rendition by Lata.

Note: I am away till end of first week of May.
