Geeta Dutt ji’s songs are often played at our house. The songs are an integral part of our lives. For me it was always the voice that appealed to me, than the melody. Much later I saw the picturarisation of those songs. I was pleasantly surprised to notice that whoever did the lipsync of the songs all performed it well. For me there were no mismatch with faces and voice.
Geeta Dutt has an unique voice, a seductive touch in her voice, especially the first start in her one of my fav songs.
Aye Dil mujhe bata de tumhein kis pe aagaya hai.
In most of her songs there is a kinda chedd chaad / teasing way imbedded. the playfullness in her voice the on screen acting and the music what a song the lyrics do comes alive. There is something with her voice which you could not easily hear in other voices there was something so familiar so trusted so as if it was our own voice. Altough She sung marvelous still we could identify our self with her voice.
The song Na jao Saiyan Chura Ke Baiyan kasam tumhari main roh paroongi..again you hear that teasing way so endearing the way she sings this song. As if the face expressions are hearable in the voice.
The song Aaj Sajan mohe ang lagale janam saphal ho jaye..so much sincerity in her appeal the actress on the screen to me very much able to express the voice and the feeling and depth the voice carries .
There is a big cute factor in the voice of Geeta Dutt ji she could easily become a voice of a kid and in this song you can hear that very well. This is a rare song “Haath pasaare raste raste” from the film Ek ke Baad Ek.
The song. Aaja chhaye kaare badra.I love so much. An old film song which has to me such a modern outcome, a melodious voice doing different things with her voice in this song. She sings for both the dancers in this song.
Very recently I was introduced to this song. She sings this soothing and sensuous song in her sexy voice. so beautiful no need for music, powerful voice very mature and again such a good example of a voice that we could identify our own voice with.
while thinking about just a few favorites, I had to drop many other songs,, so I decided to mention only solo’s and still there were too many good fav solo’s of her. I feel like mera Sundar sapna beet gaya lo khatam kahani hogayee and I had to stop with this beauty of a song playing in the background while I am writing this article.
