Hey thank you so much for sharing. I was following the lyrics while listening to this song. Lata Mangeshkar is trully a legend in Indian Cinema. I still enjoy black and white movies and old songs. Kishore Kumar is another great singer along with Mohammad Rafi.
People can argue here with me, but I believe that Indian movies made today don't quite measure up to the older ones. Is it grace that is missing?
