There are some Hindi songs which I can hear till eternity. I feel there is something very soothing about these songs. They tend to convey many emotions all in one musical note. I am fond of radio, Surat does not have much of private radio service *sob sob* and this place has potential to make it into a commercial success. Whenever I get a chance to go to Mumbai I make sure that I hear atleast to four hours of radio, by the way irrespective of whats the time the radio set is practically on. The 24 hours service is a great help and I truly believe the private radio in Mumbai make living in a city a bit easier.
The following list of songs is as follows,
Raat ke hamsafar: sung by Asha and Rafi for the movie An Evening in Paris starring Sharmila and Shammi.
Main zindagi ka saath: sung by Rafi for the movie Hum Dono starring Dev Anand.
Ajeeb dastan hai yeh: sung by Lata* movie (fill in the blanks) featuring Meena Kumari and Rajkumar.
Saagar jaisi aankhowali: sung by Kishore for the movie Saagar starring Dimple, Rishi, Kamaal Hassan
Mere meheboob qayamat: sung by Kishore for himself in Mr. X in Bombay.
Ek ladki bheegi: sung by Kishore for Chalti ka Naam Gaadi featuring Himself and Madhubaala.
Aayega Aanewala: sung by Lata for the movie Mahal. Ashok Kumar was the “hero” of the movie.
Aasmaan ke neeche: sung by Lata and Kishore for Jewel Thief starring Dev Anand and Vyjanthimala.
Dard-e-dil: sung by Rafi for the movie Karz starring Rishi Kapoor.
Jab koi baat: sung by Kumar Sanu and Sadhna Sargam for the movie Jurm featuring Vinod Khanna and Meenakshi Sheshadri.
Ae dil-e nadan: sung by Lata for the the movie Razia Sultana starring Dharmendra and Hema.
Then there are a few ghazals sung by Asha, Jagjit Singh and Pankaj Udhas which I would love to hear very late into the night.
*Correted to Lata as mentioned by Sakshi on this blog's comments

Kishore Kumar. His songs were the one you probably sang first when you started babbling. His songs were the first tunes on which you learnt to grind. Like old wine his charm continues till date and will probably only grow from here. The old tunes which he lent his voice never seem to be never out of odds with the present.
It would have been his 76 birth anniversary. But he is still alive.
His song voice conveyed the poets thoughts, the directions story, the heroes oomph, and would been eager to fall on a responsive ear. The magic continues to make people sway.
He carried the torch of playback singing to new heights.
He is also a man who signifies that life is perhaps a big irony. Irony is without exception got you the best and perhaps the worst on view. He was destined never to sing. It’s on record that he had an awful throat. He had problems talking leave alone singing. But today without doubt he was perhaps the best on which today’s singers try to emulate (emulating is not copying).
No artist has one facet only. This artist had many amazing facets. The record book says director, producer, editor, music director, lyricist, singer, poster designer etc. He did it all for Door Gagan Ki Chaon Mein. A comedian, who would just inject laughter into thinking souls. A singer who would bring tears rolling down your cheeks if you just heard him.
He along with Rajesh Khanna first and then Amitabh Bachchan bought a fortune for people intricately connected to Hindi film playback singing. He had an amazing voice which resonates in the mind. It takes you on a path where a man is compelled to think about his being.
There are a wide variety of songs which you could choose if u wish to hear a Kishore Kumar. You also have an option of hearing him remixed or remake. I prefer old ways. I am conservative I agree. It’s the simplest of thoughts which are most difficult to convey and understand. There are no ways but to simply say that he would tune the listeners to his songs no matter what he sang.
There are some of my favourite original solo tracks of Kishore Kumar.
Mere Meheboob Qayamat Hogi (Mr X in Mumbai).
Mana Janab Ne Pukara Nahi (Paying Guest)
Mere Saamnewali Khidki (Padosan)
Geet Gaata Hoon Main (Lal Patthar)
Woh Shaam Kuch Ajeeb Thi
Khaike Paan Banareswala (Don)
Meri Umaar Ke Nau Javano (Karz)
Om Shanti Om (Karz)
Zindagi Ki Yahi Reet Hai (Mr.India)
Mere Sapno Ki Rani (Aradhna)
The list is endless. Rock or classical you need to have his collection no matter what your taste in Music.
