Mukesh, who endeared himself to Raj Kapoor so much that RK decided to make Mukesh his voice, has an incredible number of hits credited to him. And his was a unique voice.Generally folks connect Mukesh and sad songs. However, he handled all kinds of songs with elan. .
Here are my personal favorites from Mukesh. As I like it.
1) Kabhi Kabhi - The title song. This song was sheer peotry set in motion to the magic of Khayyam. And Mukes has infused magic into it.
2) Jeena yahan - Mera naam joker. This song is just incredible, and somehow I feel that Mukesh's voice was just right for this.The lyrics here are amazing, but since we are dicussing the singer, I am giving it a miss.
3) Kai baar yu hi dekha - rajnigandha. This song, I happened to hear quite accidently. But loved it instantly. Here Mukesh has really given it that freshness reqd.
4) Jaane Kahaan gaye: Mera naam joker. The pain is really felt in this rendition.
5) Koi jab tumhara: purab aur paschim. An amazing song here.
6) Oh re taal mile: This folkish song is awesome. And Mukesh has controlled his voice very well. I am now just listing his songs now. Cause, we r mentioning a collection wrt a singer. If it was a lyrics based review, I'd have gone deeper.But one thing is certain. Each song, mentioned below, and above are set to different moods, which just go to tell you that he could sing almost anything.
7) Ye mera deewanapan hai - saranga( correct me if I am wrong)
8) Bhooli hui yaadein.
9) Suhana Safar - Madhumati. A good clean fun song.
10) Kisiki muskurahaton pe
11) Sajan re jhooth mat bolo - I just love this song
12) hotho pe sachai - jis desh me ganga behti hai
13) jaoon kahan bataye dil
14) Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne
15) aa ab laut chalen - jis desh me ganga behti hai.This is another awesome song
16) aasma pe hai khuda - phir subah hogi
17) chal ri sajni ab kya - bombai ka baabu
18) chand ko kya maloom - lal bangla
19) chandan sa badan - saraswati chandra
