Anmol Gaadi, Noor Jehan, Surendra

email from JKS Weerasekera
Anmol Gaadi.
Musical hit 1947. Music by Naushad.

Perhaps the best song among many. Full voice of Noor Jehan and Surendra. Both were actor singers, usual at that time. Surayya too sang and acted.
Compare the thin violin E wire voices that followed in the next decades, led by Latha Manjreshkar.
Back home Rukmani with the quality voice was eased out by Latha Fernando, Angeline, south Indian Jamuna Rani, K Rani, who sang for us, and Jiki, Sushila’
