She truly is the queen of melody. Romantic, patriotic, sad songs, be it any genre she has done exceptionally well.

P.S. Really nice sketch.

You defied the age and remained evergreen with your sonorous lilting voice. You assured us of your sweet and your enchanting voice ever since you rendered that song from the film ‘Afsana’ in 1951 under the baton of Husnlal Bhagatram “abhi to mein jawaan hoon”, “I’m still young”
Indeed LatajJi, you remained young with your ageless voice.

Remarkabley Lata sang also for child artists. She is unique.

Meethi Meethi Baaton Se Bachna Zara-"Qaidi No 911" is one such song.

It is simply impossible to single out her songs to categorise as her best but I remember a remark with a great music director when he commented 'Kaise bataun, kaise uski kami dhundhun, Kamb*** kabhi besuri hi nahi hoti' She never gave a chance to her worst critic.

I love all her songs since her voice overtakes any flaw that might be there in the lyrics or tune...
But some of her songs are simply mind blowing like ..
Tum na jane kis jahan mein kho gaye
Yeh sham ki tanhayiyan
Chand maddham hai aasman chup hai
Tandi hawayen leherake aaye
Raat bhi hai kuch bheegi bheegi
Pyar kiya toh darna kya
Pyar ki yeh talkhiyan
Tera mera pyar amar...
One can go on and on...
