        Song: Kaga Re Jaa Re Ja Re (2)
                More Piya Ka Sandeswaa La Re La Re

        Film:   Wafa (1949)
        Music:  Vinod
        Lyrics: Aziz Kashmiri
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   Nimmi, Karan Diwan

Lata's control over voice, notes in this song is extremely  well.
And  yet  she  has succeeded in sending emotional waves in a most
penetrating way. This song, IMO, should figure in any Lata top-10
list. It's a must. She starts low and goes high up, at '~~ Pi~~ya
Ka~~' and starts descending at 'Sandeswa La Re' and at second 'La
Re'  is  back  to  low  notes!  Vinod's  masterly  stamp  and his
'Sarangi' is most striking here. The changing to higher notes  at
intervals in the middle of antara produces amazing effect. Pathos
are unmatched.  This film, IMO, is Vinod's best.  Of  course  the
whole  credit  doesn't go to him, as there was this other MD too,
Bulo C. Rani. Each song of the film is a gem.

For  today's  purpose  I  will  include  only  one  song   before
concluding:
        Apani Apani Kismat Hai, Hai Shaa~~d Koi, Nashaad Koi

A rare beauty of Lata. BTW, the most famous song  from  the  film
apart  from today' s berth earner is a duet of Lata-Mukesh set to
tune by Bulo C. Rani. But let's wait for that for some more time.

Note:   This post comes through, automated posting  arrangements.
I am away till
        Friday.
