One of my friends, who is also a tremendous lover of old hindi film songs ,told me that SHAMSHAD BEGUM was also one of the Padma awardees this year.Is he right? who can forget her wonderful voice,strikingly different from othersand her immensely popular songs under Naushadand OPNAYYAR? gobilalitha

Thanks Ravi,Kajra mohabbat, the harmonium background is simply marvellous. I am not able to pinpoint particular songs, because all of them were good. who is the md of Sawan? Laxmikant Pyarelal?gobilalitha.
Some songs where harmonium playing impressed are FILM DEEDAR. Mohd Rafi 'nazeeb darpe aasman ayahoo..Hussna walonka, zindagi bhar ke liye BY Talat. both the songs music by Naushad. Thereare plenty. I think a topic ' songswhere harmonium played a melodious part ' in films of all languages can be started. gobilalitha
