Lata missed the other greats

lata missed SD Burman, Shankar-Jaikishan, Kalyanji-Anandji, hemant Kumar, Ravi and mentioned a few who composed one or two songs for her. Lata Mangeshkar was always politically active and had a vengeance. I think, she did not mention these people deliberately.

Yes, the contributions of the names you mentioned was also not small. Lata has only enumerated her preferences. And nobody has felt that Lata did not play politics in the industry- she had a "misunderstanding" with Rafi too.

Yes. She even did not sing under O P Nayyer and also with co-play back singer Rafi for long because of her fight with them.

She definetely missed Ilayaraja one of India's finest composers. Anyway, she sang few songs composed by Raja and some were super hits.

Very True - what a pity - Raja was probably the greatest composer the world has ever seen.
All the songs that Lata sung for ilayaraja were gems.

When you don't understand music, why talk? SD Burman was the best music director India has even produced.

@Superman.
Ignore his comments. Some people are born with bad taste of music.
