--------------------------------------------------------------- Lata & 57 female singers of Hindi movie songs --------------------------------------------------------------- The following is the last post in the series of posts about Lata's songs. The previous ones were: 1) Lata - A statistical summary, 2) Lata with various music directors, 3) lyricists and 4) male singers. Again, this includes only songs from HINDI MOVIES, other languages are excluded as are non-filmi songs. This one is about her female singing partners. As before, even people who are not professional singers, (like saadhanaa, for example) but said or sang a word or two are included, presumably because their names are mentioned on the record. I believe that she sang with almost every female singer who sang for Hindi movies after 1947 or so. For more info, please read the earlier posts. The list is arranged as follows. There is the name of the female singer, total number of songs with her, total number of movies in which Lata sang with her, total number of duets (in which only Lata and the female is featured), the total number of songs with Lata, her and other people (it implies a triplet or a chorus). Note: To make the pronunciation easy, I have adhered to the excellent transliteration scheme of Avinash Chopde, a scheme which should be universally adopted. ----------------------------------------------------------- NAME TOTAL MOVIES DUETS OTHERS ----------------------------------------------------------- aashaa bhosale 74 69 62 12 ushaa mangeshakar 62 57 58 4 giitaa dutt 34 27 25 9 shamshaad begam 27 22 23 4 miinaa kapuur 9 6 4 5 sudhaa malhotraa 9 8 9 0 kamal baroT 9 9 8 1 raajakumaarii 6 6 5 1 mubaarak begam 5 5 5 0 suraiyaa 4 4 4 0 miinuu purushhottam 4 4 4 0 sulakshaNaa panDit 3 1 3 0 zoharaa baaii ambaalaavaalii 3 3 2 1 miinaa mangeshakar 3 3 3 0 baby reNu 2 1 0 2 biinaapaanii mukherjii 2 1 1 1 honey iiraanii 2 1 1 1 sarasvatii raaNe 2 1 2 0 aaratii mukherjii 2 1 2 0 ushaa khannaa 2 2 1 1 pramodinii desaii 2 2 2 0 padmini kolhaapure 2 2 2 0 amiir baaii karnaaTakii 2 2 2 0 hemalataa 2 2 2 0 iraa naagarath 2 2 2 0 sushhamaa shreshTh 2 3 2 0 lalitaa phaDke 1 1 0 1 ranuu mukherjii 1 1 0 1 saadhanaa 1 1 0 1 lakshamii shankar 1 1 0 1 pearl padamasii 1 1 0 1 priyaa raajavansh 1 1 0 1 nirmalaa devii 1 1 1 0 premalataa 1 1 1 0 suman kalyaaNpur 1 1 1 0 siitaa agaravaal 1 1 1 0 umaa devii 1 1 1 0 umaa 1 1 1 0 shaantaa aapaTe 1 1 1 0 sandhyaa mukherjii 1 1 1 0 shivaangii kolhaapure 1 1 1 0 shailajaa 1 1 1 0 niilimaa chaTarjii 1 1 1 0 dilaraaj kaur 1 1 1 0 iilaa aruN 1 1 1 0 iilaa desaaii 1 1 1 0 daisy iiraanii 1 1 1 0 aashaalataa 1 1 1 0 cha.Ndabaalaa 1 1 1 0 chanderakaantaa 1 1 1 0 miinaakshii 1 1 1 0 mohan taaraa talapade 1 1 1 0 mumataaz 1 1 1 0 miinaa patkii 1 1 1 0 kalyaaNii 1 1 1 0 kavitaa krishNamurtii 1 1 1 0 madhubaalaa zaaverii 1 1 1 0 -------------------------------------------------------- Surjit Singh
