Voices From A Golden Era

Kishore Kumar’s mustache received special treatment: a payment, a snip, full payment, whiskers gone.Mohd Rafi, a kite running enthusiast, and fierce badminton player, shared these pursuits with Naushad Ali, Shakeel Badayuni, Dilip Kumar, and Anand Bakshi. The Golden Era Voices, ignitable by virtue of their excellence, scorched a line in the musical tapestry of Bombay Cinema. Stalwarts KL Saigal Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, and Kishore led the male charge, and evergreen Lataji cordoned the rear with Asha Bhosle and Geeta Dutt. Their efforts, captured in revealing photos and extensive data in tabular form, create a Reference Manual and easy-to-read life histories. A unique feature is a penetrating critique by the author of the singer’s life.Read these rekindled glimpses of this glorious past in Voices from a Golden Era.
