Anyway signing off

To add an interesting twist to this compilation, I wish to add some songs that have been rendered by singers who have sung for Panchamda only once or twice or on very few occassions.

• Tujhse naraaz nahin zindagi - Anup Ghoshal in Masoom - Probably the only song sung by this famous Bengali singer for Panchamda

  
  




• Do naina ek kahani - Aarti Mukherjee in Masoom - Again, Probably the only song sung by this popular Bengali singer for Panchamda

  
  




• Aaja mere pyaar aaja - Hemant Kumar in Heeralal Pannalal - An extremely rare combination.Sung by Hemantda when he was well past his prime and picturised on Premnath

  
  

-'Dukh sukh ki har ek mala' for Kudrat &'Pag pag thokar khaoon' for Ashanti - Sung by an extremely rare singer Chandrashekhar Gadgil with an unconventional voice.Probably the only songs rendered by him for Hindi films

• Humen tumse pyaar kitna - Parveen Sultana for Kudrat.A classical masterpiece

- 'Pehla pehla pyar na bhule' &'Tu mera kya lage, o sathiya' - Both sung by Salma Agha for Oonche Log.The later song was an Kishore-Salma duet!

• Yaara ho Yaara - Narendra Chanchal for Benaam .RD used this Laxmi-Pyaare discovery only once

  
  




• Sun sun kasam se - Danny for Kaala Sona. An excellent utilisation of Danny's hidden talent and the only song sung by Danny ever

  
  




• Maangi thi ek dua - Mahendra Kapoor for Shakti - RD used this popular singer very rarely and this is the only song that I am aware of, that he has sung for Panchamda

  
  




• Chalo haseen geet ik banaye - Ashok Kumar for Shaukeen.RD used this aging star's vocals judiciously to come up with a hummable song

  
  




• Haan re bhaiyya ne phir koi ladki dekhi hai - Shatrughan Sinha for Naram Garam.

  
  




• Kal to Sunday ki chutti hai - Rekha for Agar tum na hote

  
  

Now can any reader tell me whether Yesudas has ever sung for Panchamda? I have been searching for an answer to this for a very long time

Bye

Expecting comments and feedbacks
