You really appreciate summers in Massachusetts, when Winter blesses you with 120 inches of snow, and it's followed by a cold, wet Spring. So here I am, sitting on a lazy Sunday summer afternoon, savouring a plate of roasted sweet potatoes and fresh fennel, a glass of rosé wine by my side, and this is the perfect occasion for Madan Mohan songs. I have long wanted to write a post on him, one of my favourite music directors. I'd even planned when I would post it - on his birth anniversary. But they have come and gone for two years running, and I still haven't buckled down to writing a detailed post on this master composer.
It is with a sense of shock that I realised that his death anniversary is only a couple of days away. That wasn't enough time to do justice to a 'The Masters' post, so I decided to do the next best thing. His collaboration with Lata Mangeshkar is legendary - it is said that Lata's voice has an added sweetness when she sings her Madan bhaiyya's compositions. So why not a post on Lata Mangeshkar's songs for Madan Mohan - a perfect tribute to the maestro on his 40th death anniversary?
