Asha Bhosle, the name is self-explanatory. Since the 1950s, she has been performing vocal miracles and captivating many people with her voice. She can perform flawlessly in every style, whether it is a dance number, love song, ghazal, classical song, or folk song. Despite having connections to musicians like OP Nayyar and RD Burman, Asha Bhosle never fully joined one group and instead gave generously to everyone.
Dum maaro dum (Hare Rama Hare Krishna)
Before rave parties became popular, RD Burman wrote the ideal rave party music. This song, if there is one, best captures the wild spirit of the ’70s. Asha gave her everything to the song, octave-hopping in her voice like a free bird gliding over the ocean’s currents.
In Aankhon ki masti ke
Khayyam wrote this traditional ghazal, and Asha’s excellent performance demonstrated her range. She demonstrated once more that she is capable of singing many types of songs, not simply dance songs.
Mera kuchh saamaan (Ijaazat 1986)
According to rumors, Gulzar wrote the song in free verse. Writing poetry in this format is typically challenging for composers. However, RD Burman’s talent allowed him to write on it. He didn’t need to be concerned because Asha Bhosle skillfully highlighted the sentiments expressed in the lyrics. It’s regarded as one of her loveliest songs ever.
Ye Mera Dil (Don 1978)
It’s said to be the most well-known Helen song ever. Believe it or not, RD didn’t provide the music. Helen is attempting to woo a cool-as-a-cucumber Bachchan in the song. However, Asha’s bubbly voice grabs your attention more than the images do. Despite the passing of time, we are still able to recall it.
