http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251350&rws=%2Falka-yagnik%2Fdiscography.rssThe consensus is that Alka Yagnik was in the right place at the right time. The place was Bollywood and the time was the '80s -- just as Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar were starting to slow down. The daughter of a classical singer whose dreams of success were cut short by a throat problem, Yagnik claims that her singing was a hobby that evolved almost accidentally into a career. But the truth is she was an All India Radio artist at the age of 8, won a Sugam Sangeet competition in Calcutta at age 11, and was singing for composers like Laxmikant and Rajesh Roshan before she hit puberty. Yagnik broke into films thanks to a few key introductions, and she enjoyed steady work through the '80s but saw no major hits until 1988's "Ek Do Tin Char" for the film <I>Tezaab</I>. Songs like "Panchi Nadiya" (<I>Refugee</I>) and "Tu Mile Dil" (<I>Criminal</I>) only extended her influence, and she's gone on to win four Filmfare awards. - Sarah BardeenHindien720Thu, 31 Dec 2009 09:04:42 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251350&rws=%2Falka-yagnik%2Fdiscography.rss The consensus is that Alka Yagnik was in the right place at the right time.
