She was one of the most popular singers of the forties,fifties and the sixties. Every new singer including Lata Mangeshkar wanted to sing in her style. Shamshad Begum had a unique style of singing which though nasal was very attractive and pleasing to the ear. The legendary singer is no more having lived a life filled with achievements and glories. May her soul rest in peace....
She will never ever be forgotten by the music lovers since she along with K L Saigal was one of the first ever play back singers who enriched the hindi film music !
Some of her evergreen songs Saiyan dil mein aana re , Ada se jhoomte hue, Bhool gaye kyon dekhe sahara ,Aaana meri jaan sunday ke sunday, Khajra muhobbat wala...

Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

An era has come to an end. She had a voice that cannot be imitated. Both Naushad and OP Nayyar used her unique voice to give an extra Zing to their immortal compositions. Who can forget that great Mughal-e azam's quawali, "Ghadi bhar ko teri nazdeek aakar hum bhi dekhenge."
May her soul rest in peace.

Although she was not our generation singer, still a talent and big loss to the Bollywood :(

I too like that song from Mela...there are so many lovely songs of her that I have been listening to all my life that it is difficult to come up with one or two....I like her duet with Kishore Kumar 'Mere Neendon mein tum' and with Talat Mehmood ' Milthe hi aankhe dil hua deewana kisika ' and with Mukesh Bhool gaye kyon dekhe sahara lootnewale chain hamara.. Honestly, what talents those pepole had..

Its difficult to judge, the real contributing factor that made a song stand above the rest. For example, the quwali of Mughal-e-Azam, 'Teri Mehfil mein kismat aazmaakar Hum bhi dekhenge...'
It looks as if the lyric, the singer and the score are vying with each other to impress the listener. I feel like asking Shamshad, 'Kaahe Jadoo Kiya, o Jadoogar?'
And its time for me to thank you profusely for starting this thread

So true.People say time will make us forget things. May be true but not in the sphere of music. The more they are old, the more they become heady stuff, like vintage wine

She certainly had a charming voice. I enjoy listening to many of her songs especially 'Bachpan ke din bhoola nadena' which she had sung with Lata, Kajra Mohabbatwalla, Mere Piya gayee Rangoon etc.
