Singing Musicians - 4

#28
        Song: Ai Chand Zara Sun Le, Chhota Sa Fasaana Hai

        Film:   Pyar Ki Manzil (1950)
        Music:  Husnalal-Bhagatram
        Lyrics: Shevan Rizawi
        Singer: Husnalal, Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   Kamal, Munawar Sultana, Gope

When I heard the name of Husnalal along with Lata, as a singer  I
stayed  for  a  while  in disbelief on my first listening to this
song years back, and thought that announcer  would  have  spelled
the  name  of  music  director!  But  soon, I realised that I was
hearing a gem of a song. No,  it  was  not  like  Rafi  nor  like
Chitalkar;   a  distinct  and  very  nice  voice.  I  have  found
Husnalal-Bhagatram little repetitive, but this one is a  new  and
fresh  tune!  (I  know  that  this  could generate ripples :-) .)
Nevertheless, I have always liked their compositions.

This film has some good Lata and Geeta songs.
