Lata Mangeshkar (born as Hema Mangeshkar; 28 September 1929 – 6 February 2022)was an Indian playback singer and occasional music composer. She is widely considered to have been one of the greatest and most influential singers in India.Her contribution to the Indian music industry in a career spanning eight decades gained her honorific titles such as the “Queen of Melody”, “Nightingale of India”, and “Voice of the Millennium”.
Lata recorded songs in over thirty-six Indian languages and a few foreign languages, though primarily in Marathi, Hindi, and Bengali. Her foreign languages included English, Russian, Dutch, Nepali, and Swahili.
Mangeshkar was born on 28 September 1929 in a Maharashtrian Brahmin family in Indore, (in the present-day Indore district of Madhya Pradesh and then the capital of the princely state of Indore which was part of the Central India Agency in British India). Her father, Deenanath Mangeshkar, was a Marathi and Konkani classical singer and theatre actor. Her mother, Shevanti (later renamed Shudhamati), was a Gujarati woman from Thalner,
Bombay Presidency (now in northwest Maharashtra). Deenanath’s mother belonged to the Devadasis, a matrilineal community of temple artists.
Deenanath had taken the surname Mangeshkar, based on the name of his ancestral village, Mangeshi. Shevanti was Deenanath’s second wife; his first wife Narmada, who had died before his marriage to Shevanti, was Shevanti’s older sister.
In 1972, Meena Kumari’s last film, Pakeezah, was released. It featured popular songs including “Chalte Chalte” and “Inhi Logon Ne”, sung by Mangeshkar, and composed by Ghulam Mohammed. She recorded many popular songs for S.( ) D. Burman’s last films, including “Rangeela Re” from Prem Pujari (1970), “Khilte Hain Gul Yahaan” from Sharmeelee (1971), and “Piya Bina” from Abhimaan (1973) and for Madan Mohan’s last films,
including Dastak (1970), Heer Raanjha (1970), Dil Ki Rahen (1973), Hindustan Ki Kasam (1973), Hanste Zakhm (1973), Mausam (1975) and Laila Majnu (1976).
Many of her notable songs in the 1970s were composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal and Rahul Dev Burman. Many of her songs composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal in the 1970s were written by the lyricist Anand Bakshi. She also recorded many hit songs with Rahul Dev Burman in the films Amar Prem (1972), Caravan (1971), Kati Patang (1971), and Aandhi (1975). The two are noted for their songs with the lyricists Majrooh Sultanpuri, Anand Bakshi, and Gulzar.
In 1973, she won the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer for the song “Beeti Na Bitai” from the film Parichay, composed by R. D. Burman, and written by Gulzar. In 1974, she sang her only Malayalam song “Kadali Chenkadali” for the film Nellu, composed by Salil Chowdhury, and written by Vayalar Ramavarma. In 1975, she again won the National Award, this time for the song “Roothe Roothe Piya” from the film Kora Kagaz, composed by Kalyanji Anandji.
From the 1970s onward, she also staged many concerts in India and abroad, including several charity concerts. She transformed the way Indian music concerts were perceived in the West. Her first concert overseas was at the Royal Albert Hall, London, in 1974. (Despite some sources claiming that she was the first Indian to do so, according to the Hall’s own records, the first Indian to perform there was the late Ravi Shankar, on 21 October 1969.)
Until that time, film music concerts were song-and-dance affairs held in community halls and colleges, rarely taken seriously. Mangeshkar demanded to sing in mainstream halls only, which was an honour that until then was bestowed only upon classical musicians
Her maternal grandfather, Seth Haridas Ramdas Lad, was from Gujarat, a prosperous businessman and landlord of Thalner. She learned Gujarati folk songs such as garbas of Pavagadh from her maternal grandmother.
Lata was named “Hema” at her birth. Her parents later renamed her Lata after a female character, Latika, in one of her father’s plays,
She was the eldest child in the family. Meena, Asha, Usha and Hridaynath, in birth order, are her siblings; all are accomplished singers and musicians.
She received her first music lesson from her father. At the age of five, she started to work as an actress in her father’s musical plays (Sangeet Natak in Marathi). On her first day of school, Mangeshkar left because she was not allowed to bring her sister Asha along with her.

Ab kisko sunaoon main lyrics :
ab kisko sunau mai katha, krishan murari
ab kisko sunau mai katha, krishan murari
fariyad hai, fariyad meri tumse bihari
tumse bihari
ab kisko sunau mai katha, krishan murari
is dil me mohabbat ka deeya tumne jalaya
takdir ki aandhi ne use aake bujhaya
tune hi meri
tune hi meri dubti hui naiya ko, giraya
baithi mai jaha, tumne mujhe pass bithaya
khamosh sahu markat aage, krishan murari
fariyad hai, fariyad meri tumse bihari
tumse bihari
ab kisko sunau mai katha, krishan murari
jiwan me mere nirmal tufan utha hai
humdard jise samjhe wahi, mujhse khafa hai
kya padhte ke ho
kya padhte ke kismat me jo likha hai
apno se shikayat hai, na gairo se gila hai
daman ko sahare hai kai, jag jag suna
fariyad hai, fariyad meri tumse bihari
tumse bihari
ab kisko sunau mai katha, krishan murari
