Lata has recorded songs for over 1,000 Bollywood movies and sung in more than 36 regional Indian languages. She has worked with all the major composers of the bygone era and mesmerised the current lot too. Two years later, composer Ghulam Haider gave Lata her first major break with the song ‘ Dil mera toda’ in ‘ Majboor’ and after that there was no looking back for the nightingale of India, as she is fondly called.

Starting her career in 1942 with songs in Marathi, Lata's first Hindi song was ‘ Paa lagoon kar jori’ for Vasant Joglekar's movie Aap Ki Seva Mein in 1946. Not just this, Bhansali's forthcoming film Guzaarish is also inspired by one of Lata's imperishable melodies, ‘ Hai tere saath meri wafaa mein nahin to kya’, composed by Madan Mohan and written by Kaifi Azmi for the film Hindustan Ki Kasam. It is that beauty that I want to capture in my songs," he added. Then I thought, why one song when a whole ethos, era after era of supreme excellence is embodied in that voice?" Bhansali said. I first thought I'd create just one song for her in Guzaarish. And there's so much in her throat that is still untapped. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the acclaimed Indian film director, is composing an album as a tribute to her. Some of Lata's hit numbers for Chopra are ‘ Jab bhi ji chahe’ ( Daag), ‘ Kabhi kabhie mere dil mein’ ( Kabhi Kabhie), ‘ Neela asman so gaya’ ( Silsila), ‘ Meri bindiya teri nindiya’ ( Lamhe), ‘ Dholna’ ( Dil To Pagal Hai) and ‘ Tere Liye’( Veer Zaara). I am very close to her and I am happy, proud and fortunate that she is close to me," said filmmaker Yash Chopra who has vowed only to work with her among the female singers in the industry. I just hope that she lives on forever and gives her blessings to us. She has given us so much in terms of music, love and affection. She was last heard in Bhandarkar's "Jail". Lata, who was born Sep 28, 1929, also featured in the Guinness World Records book from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world. Starting her career in 1942, she reigned over the film industry for decades and is still the first preference of many filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Madhur Bhandarkar and an inspiration to established singers of today. Bollywood playback legend Lata Mangeshkar turns 81 Tuesday, with fans swearing by her golden voice even as she has chosen to cut down on assignments after singing for over 1,000 Hindi movies.
