Asha & Female Co-singers
The following info comes from the book on Asha, called
"svaraashaa" published by Vishwas Nerurkar of Bombay,
who published a similar book on Lata earlier.
The following includes songs from Hindi-Urdu films only
and is up to 1994. The main part of the list is arranged
as follows: the name of the female singer, total number
of songs sung with Asha, total number of movies with
Asha, duets in which Asha and the named singer sang
alone, others in which another singer/s male and/or
female participated. As usual, transliteration scheme
of Avinash Chopde has been used.
As usual, the ultimate source of most of this info is
the 5-volume Hindi Film Giit Kosh by Har Mandir Singh
Hamaraaz and Bishwa Nath Chatterjee.
