Lata Mangeshkar is still so young, so vibrant and so full of vigour (I mean her music). She is my favourite - there is not a day I spend without listening to some of her songs. Its hard to say which song I like the most, for there are many.

Twenty songs which I like the most are the following :

Mere Naina Sawan Bhadon (film:Mehbooba, actress: HemaMalini)
The song really takes one to his past life - in imagination!No one could have done justice to this song except her.

Yeh Zindagi usiki hai (film:Anarkali, actress:Beena Roy).
I like this song for its meaning- perhaps a sordid reflection of life.

Bahon me chale aao (film: Anamika, actress:Jaya Baduri)
Jaya looked gorgeous in this song. Lataji has a kind of masti in her voice in this song.

Na koi Umang hai (film:Kati Patang, actrees:Asha Parekh)
This song is epitomie of hopelessness- So many in Life would find solace after listening it - thinking there are so many like them. Lataji has rendered it impeccably.

Dil hun hun kare (film: Rudaali, actress:Dimple Kapadia)
This is one is a rural melody - the real song of the heart

Aaja re prdesi (film:Madhumati, actress: Vaijayanti Mala)
The desire and eagerness are very explicitly brought out in this song through Lata Mangeskar’s voice.

Teri Bindiyan re (film:Abhiman, actress: Jaya Baduri)
If I say why I like this song - I am doing injustice to it.

Tere mere beech mein (film: Ek Dhuje Keliye, actress:Rati)
Sheer Depth and Emotion -Anyone listening to this song would feel it.

Aaj phir jeene ki tamanaa hai (film:Guide, actress:Wahida Rehman)
A kind of morbid playfulness in Lata’s voice is what I liked about this song.

Ajeeb Daastan yeh (film:Dil Apna aur Preet parayi, actress: Meena Kumari)
I like this song for its philosophy too.

Tere Bina Zindagi mein Koyi (film:Aandhi, actress:Suchitra Sen)
Here again the blesedness of togetherness is explicit - Her voice tells us that the character has missed something

Agar Tum Na Hote (film:Agar Tum Na Hote, actress:Rekha)
Deeply sad and sentimental

Raina Beeti Jayee (film :Amar Prem, actress: Sharmila Tagore)
I like it for its classical tone

Loote koi Man ka Nagar (film: Abhimaan, actress:Jaya Baduri)
The pauses in the song make it special. - listen!

Neela Aasman Khogayaa (film:Silsila, actress:Rekha)
The tune of this song is perfect in keeping with mood.

Dekha ek Kaab to ye (film:Silsila, Actress:Rekha)
Hey I just Love this Song

Aa Laut ke aaja mere meet (film: RaniRoopmati, actress: Nirupa Roy)
Melody and the urge of two souls, the pangs for waiting for the beloved -so beautiful in Lata’s Voice.

Yeh Raat Kushnaseeb hai (film:Aaina, actress:Amrita Patel)
I liked it for it meaning

Are re re yeh kya hua (film: Dil to Pagal Hai, actress: Madhuri Dixit)
How Vibrant is her voice after all these years!- this song is very pleasent to listen to.

Hum Aapke Hai Kaun (Hum Apke Hain Kaun (title song))
Mystery! cahracterises it

Aaja re o mere dil bar aaja (Noorie,Actress : Poonam dillon)
Passionate Love is described.

The songs I have mentioned here are solos of Lata mangeshkar except three or four -I enjoy her solo more. These songs are my favourites because they are more melodious (with good meaning too )- the words are very clear when lataji sings. Even some of the films here are have depth as much as the songs. I consider these songs as the Best of Lata Mangeshkar.
