geeta dutt Options

[arnab]

is it possible we don't already have a dedicated thread for geeta dutt?

this exchange on the hemant kumar thread has resulted in my listening to disc 2 of the 5 cd legends compilations:

isn't there a song sung by hemant kumar that has "...bhola bhandari..." in the refrain. and then another obscure song that he directed went something like "aan milo, aan milo shyam saware." anyone knows what i am talking about? all this talk of h.k. has set off these vague recollections in my head.

the first one doesn't ring a bell, but the second one i can almost hear in my head. can you hum a little of it....?

edit: got it. at least the one in my head. it has nothing to do with hemant. geeta dutt and manna dey duetting in "devdas". my geeta dutt cd tells me the music director was s.d burman. listening to it now--i guess manna does sound a bit like hemant here.

so many great songs. and so many great duets. "udhar tum haseen ho" with rafi just finished--but my favorite is the extremely funny "dil ki umangen hai jawaan" with hemant.

some of these songs also make me think of the voice/aesthetic discussion centering on lata and noor jehan elsewhere on the forum. geeta sometimes sounds like the middle ground between lata and shamshad begum.
