BAAHO ME CHALE AAO

Most of us know Lataji’s melodious numbers sung for the heroine in the movies who is shy, feeble, and waiting for the hero to approach her. In very few instances do you see the heroine in a song asking the hero to show his affection to her, she is the one who is saying, “the night is young, both of us are together then why worry? Let’s make the best of it!” A wonderful example of it is ‘Bahome Chale Aao’

This is one of those rare songs of Lataji that has been sung with playfulness and incredible sensuality without any overt expressions. Music of RDB and voice of Lataji has made it immortal. Sometimes a singer is branded for his/her certain type of singing until a revolutionary music director comes along, and shows a new side of the singer’s ability.

I think we give credit to the singer who has made these songs evergreen but equal credit goes to the music director, if not more.

(After recording the song, I was not satisfied as I felt I did not get the same feeling that I was looking for. I could not find the mistakes but just was not happy with it until I played the original song which was a bit slower and half a note down…
So…please excuse me if I could not convey the same feeling and emotions. It is very difficult to do that when have to rush through the song on a high pitch.)
