In today’s weekend blog, I am still continuing with top songs of singers. Today I will be writing about two very versatile female playback singers Geeta Dutt and Shamshad Begum. Both of them started their career in 1940s, Shamshad Begum in early 40s and Geeta Dutt in late 40s. Both of them were great singers but they did not achieve great success, what they deserved because of the presence of two other great singers Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle in that era. In their time they have given playback for all the leading actresses of 40s and 50s.
Please note that songs which are listed are in random order.

So these songs, which were sung by two stalwart playback female singers of Hindi film music, are going to remain evergreen. Both of them must have sung their last song in 1970s. But even after 4 decades after their last song, their songs are still popular, and many of their songs have been remixed by various artists, which is indirectly tribute to them. In case if you have any other favourite song of these singers , please let me know.
Awaiting your feed backs/comments/views.
