Jump into any night club and in the list of music that the DJ is going to play would be, ”Mere piya Gaye Rangoon, Leke Pehla Pehla Pyaar, and Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar”, but run a quick check with the dancers on the floor about the name of the singer who originally sang these songs, not even 5 percent would be able to answer it. Shamshad Begum, the lady who sang these songs, and was the first female singer having a definite nasal twang in her voice was such a rage in her times, that no music album could be considered as complete if it did not feature a song sung by Shamshad Begum. She is probably the only singer who is alive from her era, as she has already celebrated her 90th birthday, a few days ago.
