Lady in white saree with hair plaited into two and a combination of beautiful voice is all that makes her a melodic angel in disguise that she is. She is the Queen of Melody, also nicknamed the Nightingale. Well, her journey to such great fame was not a bed of roses but she made it. And now, she is a legendary personality of the musical world. The Guinness World Record has her name for recording over 35 thousand songs during her career. And her voice is something that doesn’t need any editing like today’s. The lady has lent her voice to many movies. Some of her songs worth mentioning are- Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh, Ho Pardesia, Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyar Sajna, Dekho Maine Dekha Hai Ek Sapna, Dil Deewana, Pyar Hua Iqrar Hua, Mere Khwabon Mein and many other super hits.

A god-gifted voice, one who needs no introduction, who is the most successful and celebrated female singer, is none other than Asha Bhosle. Her voice is so good that she can sing any song given to her, from frenzied party numbers to soothing romantic songs, you name it and she has it in her range. She has the talent to play with her voice, going from high notes to a sudden low, and that makes her songs too good to be true and melodic to hear. She is always up to date with her voice and changing as per time and need. Here are a few of Asha Bhosle’s chartbusters that will make you agree. There are too many to do justice to all, but I have tried to mention a few- Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko, Ek Main Aur Ek Tu, Chhod Do Aanchal, Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein, Raat Akeli Hai, Gunguna Rahe Hai, Dum Maro Dum, Ye Ladka Hai Allah.

So who is it? Lata Mangeshkar or Asha Bhosle – who is your favourite singer?
