As cliche as this might sound, but 'Old is Gold', old is truely and purely gold! There is really no comparison or competition for the old hindi songs. We had so many melodious singers at that time whose voices still continue to rule our hearts. Amongst them, Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar is the one classic duo of that time. They both were the most respected and acclaimed singers of their time. Their soul touching songs are still alive and are etched in our hearts forever. People still choose to tune into these melodies to relax and calm themselves and have a happy time with themselves. On a dreary Tuesday afternoon, unwinding to the sounds of Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar will bring you complete peace and will instantly teleport you to the olden and golden times. The 'as sweet as sugar' voices of Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar will completely fill your mind with bliss and for sure their songs will make you feel so many emotions. They will give you a feeling of utter happiness which I guess no other thing can ever give you. Let's take a trip down the memory lane while taking a look at the 10 best Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar songs.
1) Waada Karo Nahi Chhodogi (from- Aa Gale Lag Jaa):
Shashi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore can't be more adorable in this song. A song of 'Pyaar and Takraar'. The music is directed by R.D. Burman. Sharmila Tagore is frustrated and fed up in this song because of Shashi Kapoor and we can hear that exact tone in Lata Mangeshkar's voice as she always modulated her voice as per the emotions of the song which added life to the song.
2) Kora kaagaz tha yeh mann mera (from- Aradhana):
Sharmila Tagore and Rajesh Khanna look absolutely beautiful in this song while romancing in the mountains. The lyricist of this song is Anand Bakshi while the music is given by S.D. Burman.
3) Gore rang pe na itna guman kar (from- Roti):
From the movie Roti, Gore rang pe na itna guman kar, is a playful song between two lovers. Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar's versatility is proven with each and every song sung by them. They always have something different to offer to the audience. This song is also a different and light-hearted one that makes you feel joyful.
4) Tere mere milan ki yeh raina (from- Abhimaan):
A slow and calm love song particularly if you are in a mood to relax and get away from the noise and chaos of everyday life. Listening to this song before going to bed is surely going to give you a peaceful sleep.
5) Aasman Ke Neeche (from- Jewel Thief):
Actually all the old songs make me feel happy but this is one particular song that hits differently. Maybe its because of the music and also Dev Anand. The movie Jewel Thief also has two other iconic songs like Raat Akeli Hai sung by Asha Bhosle and Hothon pe aisi baat by Lata Mangeshkar.
6) Gaata rahe mera dil (from- Guide):
The beginning of the song where Kishore Kumar goes, "Gaata rahe ae ae....... mera dil....." is itself a proof that this song is going to be legit. To your amazement, you will find that this song is truely a masterpiece. Also, there's one particular thing that I like in this song and that is the shade of Waheeda Rehman's saree in the song. I know this is completely irrelevant to the topic but I just wanted to share this.
7) Tere chehre se (from- Kabhi Kabhie):
Pouring out all the emotions into a song is the one skill of Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar that fills a song with life. This one is a lively and romantic song featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Rakhee. 'Tere chehre se nazar nahi hatt ti, nazaare hum kya dekhe', this one line conveys so many feelings and is powerful in its own way.
8) Aapki aankhon mein kuch (from- Ghar):
Lata Mangeshkar is rightly called as the Nightingale of Bollywood and no one can ever deny this fact. 'Aapki aakhon mein kuch' is a love-filled song with utterly beautiful lyrics. Lyricist Gulzar believes that words should either,"Amaze or amuse" for the listener to want to understand the meaning of the lyrics.
9) Jaane kaise (from- Shakti):
A peppy song with rather enthusiastic music. Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar's voice suits to such songs just as the same way it would suit on a slow and calm song. Their voice modulation definitely proves their singing prowess and tells us why they are legends.
10) Achcha toh hum chalte hai (from- Aan Milo Sajna):
The 1970 movie 'Aan Milo Sajna' has the most beautiful album. All the songs in this movie are a treat to listen to. Each song has its own different magic and this song too is tremendously popular for its conversation style composition of the lyrics which makes it a bit different. The lyrics are also somewhat simple to understand yet hold some beauty in itself.
So these were some of the 'never-getting-old' songs sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. But this is not the end, these were just a few of the songs sung by them, the list is surely endless and it would take a lot of time to discuss about their magic and their enchanting songs. These songs will continue to fill our hearts with love and happiness. Comment down below your favorite song sung by this classic duo.
