Earlier this year marked one of the darkest phases for Bollywood music industry. We lost many legendary singers including the iconic Lata Mangeshkar. It is safe to say she is the only singer who gave us songs that spoke to our souls. On Lata Di's birth anniversary, Radio City prays her a tribute by remembering some of her evergreen songs that prove 'unki aawaz he unki pehchaan hain.'

Proudly known as the Nightangle of India, Lata Mangeshkar redefined Bollywood music by giving a new meaning to every word the lyricist wrote. Pouring out emotions in every note, she was loved by every music buff. Let's revsit some of her songs that will speak to your soul.

1. Lata Mangeshkar Songs: Lag Jaa Gale

No one, aboslutely no one can debate about this song not being on your mid-night playlist. Every time someone mentions Lag Jaa Gale, we automatically sing "Humko mili hain aaj yeh ghadiyaa naseeb se!"

2. Lata Mangeshkar Songs: Ajib Dastan Hai Ye

Another gem of a song, this was the OG song to celebrate unrequited love. Every tune, every word, every note just makes you humm along. Who wouldn't remember the 'Mubarakein tumhe ke tum kisi ke noor ho gaye.."

3. Lata Mangeshkar Songs: Aap Ki Nazron Ne Samjha

This one is our personal favorite. What makes this one special is how, with simpe lyrics, Lata Di conveys every emotion that a person who is in love, feels.

4. Lata Mangeshkar Songs: Bahon Mein Chale Aao

Imagine sensually teasing your partner in an era when even holding hands would be considered as physical intimacy! This evergreen song by Lata Mangeshkar is definitely a must-add to your playlist.

5. Lata Mangeshkar Songs: Luka Chuppi

You would be lying if you said you never felt goosebumps and were left teary-eyed every time this song played. Pouring out a mother's emotions who lost her child is a pain that no one can ever imagine. Did you know, Lata Di actually cried twice in the recoridng studio before she could sing Luka Chuppi perfectly. We mean, who wouldn't!



Radio City remembers Lata Mangeshkar with these iconic songs and many more. We miss you!
