Her voice provided the soundtrack for at least two generations of Indians and is now a global phenomenon. Mangeshkar actually started out as a bit-part actress in the 1930s. She was born in Goa to a musical family. Her father was a classical musician and dramatist trained in the Gwalior gharana (school). He began teaching Lata music when she was five years old; when he died, she went into film to support her mothers and sisters, singing and acting in any bit part to make money. While her distinctive, high voice was initially derided as too reedy for a lead playback singer, a 1949 quadruple-film attack that included Barsaat and Andaaz rocketed her to the front of the pack. Her style became the norm, while the more throaty style disappeared. After film singer Noor Jehan moved to Pakistan, Mangeshkar's only serious rival was Shamshad Begum, whom she eventually edged out of the running. For the next four decades, most of the top-notch material went to Mangeshkar, and her voice was heard in hundreds of films; some people even accused her of monopolizing the field. Even Lata's younger sister Asha Bhosle, now recognized as one of the greatest Indian film singers, struggled for years in her sister's shadow. There is no question Lata wielded incredible influence in Bollywood: in the '60s she refused to sing with Mohammed Rafi and for director R.D. Burman over certain disputes, and eventually got her way. She sang in 20 Indian languages and has worked on over 2,000 soundtracks, singing for all the major Indian actresses and in every style from pop to bhajan and back again. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251491&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:52 -0800 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5251491 art.5251491 Sonu Nigam art.5251491 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251491&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251491&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Bewafa Sanam.

True acting roles followed, and in 1953 Kumar captured audiences in Ladki. For years, his career knew no boundaries -- until tax problems in the 1960s forced him to take low-grade film jobs to pay the bills. But he rebounded in 1969 with the hit film Aradhana with a soundtrack by S.D. Burman. In 1976, Kumar refused to sing in a propaganda appearance for prime minister Indira Gandhi during her massive crackdown on civil liberties (known as the Emergency), and as a result his songs were banned for years. Though he had a difficult personal life (four marriages!), Kumar brought laughter to millions of people. Asha Bhosle considered him the most spontaneous and innovative singer she'd worked with, and he was known to spend days connecting with a song before recording it. The prolific Kumar performed an estimated 112 songs in S.D. Burman's films alone. He died of a heart attack in 1987. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251511&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:43:12 -0800 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5251511 art.5251511 Shaan art.5251511 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251511&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251511&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251574&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:27:41 -0800 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5251574 art.5251574 Shreya Ghoshal art.5251574 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251574&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251574&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Devdas and 2003's Jism.

Rafi was illiterate and had to memorize the lyrics to a song before he could record it. It is said, however, that he remembered a melody after hearing it only once and could immediately suggest improvements. While Rafi's early years were scrappy as he vied for attention with singers and actors like Hemant Kumar, Mukesh, Talat Mahmoud, and Manna Dey, he quickly rose to the top of the heap, rivaled only by Kishore Kumar. Movies such as Baiju Bawra and Dulari were watershed events for Rafi, and they initiated the long and fruitful partnerships he enjoyed with composers like Naushad. Unlike Kishore Kumar, Rafi rarely appeared in films himself. He was the voice for all of the cinema greats, including Shammi Kapoor and Sunil Dutt, and he is revered to this day as a singer of uncommon depth and ability.

Blessed with an innate gift for mimicry, the native Marathi speaker was soon singing in Punjabi, Bengali and Hindi; she had her Hindi debut in Hansraj Bahl's Chunaria in 1948. (Later in her career, Bhosle would take on Russian, Malay and other languages.) But success didn't come easily to the singer. Her older sister had won the hearts of most composers, and through the 1950s Bhosle took any song she could get, vying with Geeta Dutt for second place in the public's affections. Though the sisters shared a duet in the 1951 film Daman, their relationship was famously acrimonious during this period. Bhosle's underdog status led her to become a bit more risqué than Mangeshkar, and she was lucky enough to work for one director who preferred her to Lata and helped her develop a distinctive identity: O.P. Nayyar. Their string of hits included "Chainse Hum Ko Kabhi" (Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye), "Aankhon Se Jo Uttari..." (Phir Who Dil Laya Hoon), and "Chhota Sa Baalama" (Raagini). In the '60s Bhosle's star rose, and she won of string of Filmfare awards for Best Female Playback Singer for movies including Rangeela, Naina, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Caravan, and Dus Lakh. R.D. Burman also began to work more with Bhosle, and the two married in 1979.

She moved to the T-Series label, working with Gulshan Kumar (who was also rumored to be her lover), and her star rose again.

He died of a heart attack in 1994. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251285&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Wed, 2 Dec 2009 11:07:29 -0800 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5251285 art.5251285 Suresh Wadkar art.5251285 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251285&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251285&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251353&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:25:21 -0700 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5251353 art.5251353 Chorus (Dance Music) art.5251353 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251353&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251353&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251513&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Wed, 2 Dec 2009 11:07:05 -0800 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5251513 art.5251513 Chitra art.5251513 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251513&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251513&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.21800314&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:16:37 -0700 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.21800314 art.21800314 Madhushree art.21800314 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.21800314&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.21800314&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11050858&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Mon, 30 Mar 2009 12:30:51 -0700 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.11050858 art.11050858 Chandu Mattani art.11050858 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11050858&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11050858&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251398&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Wed, 4 Nov 2009 12:14:30 -0800 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5251398 art.5251398 Mohammed Rafi And Asha Bhosle art.5251398 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251398&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251398&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251776&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:28:26 -0800 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5251776 art.5251776 Lata Mangeshkar And Mohammed Rafi art.5251776 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251776&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251776&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251449&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Hindi Thu, 5 Nov 2009 12:40:13 -0800 Top Hindi Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5251449 art.5251449 Roopkumar Rathod art.5251449 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251449&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5251449&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fhindi%2Fartist-chart.rss Border, Hero, Hindustani and Kareeb. -

That soundtrack's success touched off a cascade of hit soundtracks for major Indian films, including Chori Chori, Brahmchari, Professor and Anari. They could compose classical, folk-based or utterly modern tracks with ease, and they won a record nine Filmfare Awards through the years.
