Shamshad begum

Totally obessively listening to Shamshad begum. For some reason the song "reshmi salwar, kurta jaali ka" got stuck in my head. I bought this awesome 2 CD set from India, which has her best songs and a bonus leaflet which describes her voice as a tall glass of lassi...kya baat hai. Listening to saiyaan dil me aana re, mere piya gaye rangoon,chana chor garam, ek do teen ...
Here's a link to a page of her songs

Listen to kajra mohabbat wala or kahin pe nigaahen and read my old blogs, or drink lassi :)

What is interesting is how naughty Hindi lyrics were from the early days - they had fun, a sense of humour and a certain class!
Comments:
the class which lacks in today's remixes.
