The impact India’s nightingale Lata Mangeshkar left on the world of music can be neither forgotten, nor replaced. She had an illustrious career spanning over seven decades, starting from her first break in the 1948 film, ‘Majboor’, with the song ‘Dil Mera Toda, Mujhe Kahin Ka Na Chhora’, with lyrics by Nazim Panipati. It can never be possible to pick and choose which songs were her best, as the versatility and emotions that she brought in with each and every song was unmatched.

Though Lata Mangeshkar passed away on February 6 after suffering a multi-organ failure, she will always stay alive in our hearts with her soulful songs such as ‘Ajeeb Dastan Hai Ye’, ‘Ae Mere Watan Ke Logo’, ‘Lukka Chuppi’ and ‘Tere Liye’, among others. (ANI)
