Bharat Ratna Award

Why was Lata Mangeshkar given the Bharat Ratna Award?

Imagine 4 generations of India growing up with the same voice. Lata Mangeshkar's contribution to music and to the nation is astounding. The Nightingale and Queen of Melody, with a trademark white saree, draped casually, hair neatly made into two plaits and that melodious voice. Yes, all that comes to our mind is the face of Lata Mangeshkar. She is the holder of the Guinness World Record for recording more than 35 thousand songs throughout her career. She has not only sung Hindi songs but also in other regional languages. She has lent her voice to all the leading ladies from the 1940s  | Click Here...
