Composer Madan (Moh)and
singer Talat had a couple of things in common – they were renowned for their ghazals, and they didn’t have big bodies
of work to boast of.
While both might
give Hindi music aficionados the impression that the duo wasn’t versatile, it
mustn’t be forgotten that the focus was on Kohlity, and not on quantity, in the
1950s.
One of their collaborations
was Meri Yaad Mein Tum Na Aansoo Bahana
from Madhosh (1951). The song, penned
by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, wasn’t (M)a(h)mood-lifter by any stretch of the
imagination, but it was timeless.
