Jaane kahan gaye wo din/Dil jalta hai/Dost dost na raha - The legendary Mukesh in a pensive mood
Mukesh Chand Mathur (22 July 1923 - 27 August 1976) was an Indian playback singer of Bollywood. He, alongside Mohammad Rafi, Manna Dey and Kishore
Kumar, left such an impact on the Hindi film industry that they are still remembered to date.
His voice was first noticed by Motilal, a distant relative, when he sang at his sister's wedding. Motilal took him to Bombay and arranged for
singing lessons by Pandit Jagannath Prasad. During this period Mukesh was offered a role in a Hindi film, Nirdosh (1941). His first song was 'Dil hi
bujha hua ho to' as an actor-singer for Nirdosh. He got his break as a playback singer for actor Motilal in 1945 with the film Pehli nazar with
music by Anil Biswas & lyrics by Aah Sitapuri. The first song that he sang for a Hindi film was Dil jalta hai to jalne de, which was picturised on Motilal.
He was such a fan of K. L. Saigal that in his early years of playback singing he used to imitate his idol. In fact, it is said that when K. L. Saigal
first heard the song Dil jalta hai to jalne de, he remarked - That's strange, I don't recall singing that song.
Mukesh created his own singing style with the help of music director Naushad, who helped Mukesh to come out of his Saigal style and to create his own
Mukesh style. Naushad gave mukesh songs to sing for him in the movie Andaz.
Mukesh was the ghost voice of Dilip Kumar in this movie and ironically Mohammed Rafi sang for Raj Kapoor, however the Mukesh-Dilip combo did very well
at the box office and so Mukesh became the early voice of Dilip Kumar and deliverd many Hits to him in movies like: Anokha Pyaar(1948), Mela(1948),
Andaz(1949), Shabnam(1949), Yahudi (1958) and Madhumati (1958). It was impossible for 2 upcoming heroes to share their voice, so Dilip Kumar choose
Mohammed Rafi as his ghost voice onward. Mukesh who was the ghost voice of Raj Kapoor continued to deliver hit songs for him. He is best known for the
songs he sang for Raj Kapoor.
In 1974, Mukesh received National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the song 'Kai baar yoon bhi dekhaa hai' from Rajnigandha (1974)
and Filmfare Awards for the songs 'Sab kuch seekhain' from the movie Anari (1959), 'Sabse bada naadan wahi hai' in Pehchaan (1970),
'Jai bolo' in Be-imaan (1972) and 'Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein', the title song of film Kabhie Kabhie (1976).
A total of around 1,200 songs were sung by him. This number is less than those sung by some of his contemporaries, but the fact is that Mukesh emphasized
on quality rather than quantity.
Let us enjoy some all time classic sad songs sung by this legendary singer .

Hi I'm chanchal jain. I am a huge fan of mYusic.
My favorite music is semi classical, sufi, ghazal & old hindi songs. In hindi film music i like most Gulzar ji and with him Lata ji, Asha ji
and best of all his pair with Pancham da.
I like Laxmikant ji, Pyare lal ji with Lata Mangeshkar too but mostly I listen to Gulzar ji and his colleagues.
About me so there is nothing special about me. Just what that I am a biggg music lover and I spread music all around me.
