Yesudas bagged a National Award

The longer of the two K J Yesudas solos on the soundtrack of Chitchor was Gori Tera Gaon Bada Pyara – it was five minutes and 11 seconds long.

The track earned him the third of his eight National Awards in the Best Male Playback Singer category in 1976. It was the only time he bagged the coveted accolade for a Hindi song.

He was also nominated for a Filmfare Award in the same category the following year. It was the first time he was nominated for a Hindi song.

Ravindra Jain penned and composed it.
