Tomorrow is C Ramchanra's death anniversary. Here is a song  sung
by himself as a tribute to this great composer.

#129
        Song: Dil Mere Ud Ja, Mohobat Ka Paigaam Le Ke
                Bichhade Hue Saajan Ka, Salaam Le Ke Ud  Ja  Mera
Salaam Le Ke ...

        Film:   Roshni (1949)
        Music:  Ramchandra Chitalkar
        Lyrics: Pyarelal Santoshi
        Singer: Chitalkar
        *ing:   ?

In my scheme of things, this one is my all time  favourite  song,
and  would rate THE best of Chitalkar. Sarangi pieces after 'Mera
Salam Leke Ud Ja'  are  very  lucid,  extremely  melodious.  Each
stanza ends with 'Mera Salam Leke Ud Ja' and same sarangi pieces.
He charges the song/rendition with feelings/emotions while  going
little  up  towards  the  end of each stanza while singing 'Kehna
Unhe Jaake Mera Naam Le  Ke'  and  other  lines  from  respective
antaras.

I vaguely remember hearing  a  song  of  Shamshad  (perhaps  with
Chitalkar)  from  the film, but can't provide any detail. I would
appreciate more information from the film.
