Since the mid-1940s, when Lata Mangeshkar was 13 years old, she debuted as an actress for a Marathi film. It was because her father passed away, and she was the eldest in the family, and therefore the responsibility fell on her shoulders. Lata Mangeshkar always loved to sing, and there is a story that says she stopped going to school because she used to teach the kids how to sing, and teachers opposed her doing so, and therefore she left her schooling.

Though Lata Mangeshkar did not have enough formal training, she was trained in singing by her father. She inevitably did face a lot of hurdles at the initial period of her career but later became the ruler of the industry. Her voice not just was one of the best in Bollywood to have been blessed with but also was the reason behind a massive change in the industry.

Though Lata Mangeshkar has sung thousands of tracks that will forever be gold and enriching, here are the best of 5 from her thousands of melodies that are just too good and mesmerizing.

Main Chali Main Chali

Hasta Hua Noorani

Raina Beeti Jaye

Dil Deewana

Sharm Aati Hai Magar
