It was a M(angeshk)arvellous solo

The fact that Lata Mangeshkar was the voice of the soundtrack of Uran Khatola – which released in 1955 – was no secret.

Spread across my blogs, my collection contains a couple of songs from the film, including the subject of this post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, her solo, titled Mera Salaam Le Ja, would be the first – it was three minutes and 37 seconds long.

The song, which was written by Shakeel Badayuni, was composed by the one and only Naushad Ali.
