Asj, can you please post songs and info. of the above listed singers. They rarely sang for Bollywood but their songs were always melodious and captivating. Suman has an astounding voice and I'd like if you can start with her songs. Thanks.

Suman Kalyanpur

In class with Lataji, so many wonderful tunes to her credits

Will look at Suman, soon.

Dil Ek Mandir (1963), Shagun (1964), Dil Hi To Hai (1963), Jahaan Ara (1964), Sanjh Aur Savera (1964), Paakeejah (1971), Baat Ek Raat Ki (1962), Noor Jahan (1967) and Miyan Biwi Razi (1960) are some of the movies for which she gave her outstanding performance. Till the last decade Suman Kalyanpur thrilled her audiences with her stage performances and concerts. She also made many successful foreign tours and concerts.

NB We have to remember at the time of Suman coming to the fore...........there was formiddable opponents in the form of Lataji and Ashaji, and the music directors did not want to incur the wrath of Lataji, hence many very good singers were bypassed..........Suman Kalyanpur was one such singer.

I am dying to present some of her memorable tunes.

Joannie,
Thanks for bringing this Artiste to the fore of Bollywood Talk. We will certainly focus our lens to bring back some Nostalgic Yesteryear tunes.
