Lata stepped into Asha’s shoes

Having seen and heard several cabaret numbers (yes millennials, they were not called item numbers then) over the years, I know that most of them were rendered by Asha Bhosle.

So imagine my surprise on realising that it was Lata Mangeshkar who rendered Aa Jaane Jaan, the only track from Intequam (1969) on this blog.

Needless to say, the surprise doubled when I discovered that while Mangeshkar sang four solos (including this one) and a duet in the film, Bhosle did not contribute to the film’s soundtrack at all.

Rajinder Krishan penned the Laxmikant-Pyarelal composition.
