MUMBAI: When it comes to voice, none can match Asha Bhosle when it comes to variety… and at 75 years she is one of the rare breed of singers whose voice matches perfectly to Hollywood heroines who have just begun their career. With a career spanning more than six decades, the famous playback singer has sung over 20,000 songs in practically every Indian language and is still going strong.
And when you speak of versatility, who can forget the golden oldies such as Piya tu ab to aaja (film Caravan, 1971, with Helen gyrating to the hit number), the sexy Duniya mein logon ko (Apna Desh, 1972), the defiant Dum Maro Dum ( Hare Rama Hare Krishna, 1971), and the ever green romantic hit Chura Liyaa Hai TumneJo Dil Ko (Yaadon Ki Baaraat, 1973)… to the current Tanha Tanha and Rangeela Re from the film Rangeela (1995), Asha Bhosale has charmed many a generation with her melodious voice.
