Madhubala Zaveri
Madhubala Zaveri
Madhubala Zaveri was introduced as a playback singer by music director Hansraj Behl probably around early 50s. Madhubala sang a beautiful duet with Talat Mahmood Dil mera tera diwaana in Apni Izzat that gave her some recognition as a playback singer.
Madhubala had sharp, high pitched voice with distinctive enunciation that sounded sweet and pleasing in lower notes, but otherwise and in particular in 3rd octave, she sounded very shrill. Most of her memorable songs were duets with Talat Mahmood and the contrasting timbres of their voices made them perfect collaborative vocalists.
Madhubala faded into oblivion in the late 50s.
Her memorable songs include Mai ghata tou saawan (Jaggu, 1952), Aye zamane bata with Talat Mahmood(Dost, 1954), Thehr zara o jane wale with Manna Dey and Asha Bhosle (Boot Polish, 1954), Ja re ja nindiya ja with Lata Mangeshkar (Jhanjhar, 1953) and Jayega jab yahan se kuchh bhi na saath hoga with Mohd Rafi (Moti Mahal, 1952).
