Today is legendary Saigal's  50th  death  anniversary.  Next  few
songs are dedicated to this great man. I have selected songs that
I personaly find irresistible and his singing prowess  excels  in
each of them.

#136
        Song: Kidhar Hai Tu Ai Meri Tamanna, Charaag Dil Ka  Mere
Jala Jaa
                Mere Andhere Ki Roshani Ban, Is Ujadi  Duniya  Ko
Aa? Ke? Basa Ja

        Film:   Kurukhhetra (1944)
        Music:  Pt. Ganapatrao
        Lyrics: ?
        Singer: K L Sehgal
        *ing:   Saigal, ?

According to many Saigal lovers this one, if not THE  best,  then
is  his  one of the best song. I rate this #1. He sings his heart
out. Great rendition and what a tune - Unmatched. He generates  a
good  bass  and sings with great deal of "kharaj'. It's song like
this, that made Saigal, The Saigal!

I know two more songs of his from the film. Tu  Aa  Gai,  Dil  Ki
Tamanna  Jaag  Uthi  is  a happy number and other one 'Muhobat Ke
Gul'. I  haven't  found  'Tu  Aa  Gayi'  on  Columbia  (cassette)
releases.
