New Delhi :
Bharat Ratna awardee Sur Kokila Lata Mangeshkar has passed away. She was 92 years old. Lata Mangeshkar was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital since January 8. Lata, who became the voice of India for more than eight decades, spread the magic of her voice in thousands of film and non-film songs in more than 30 languages. There is a very funny incident related to the singing of Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi, which created panic in Hindi cinema. This is mentioned by Yatindra Mishra in his book ‘Lata Surgatha’.
When Yatindra asked Lata Mangeshkar a question on the royalty dispute, Lata Mangeshkar replied, “… I had proposed that the music companies be given some profit share on the sale of their records in exchange for the songs we sang.” needed. Gradually it took the form of a big controversy and most of all Rafi sahib was opposed to the fact that when we took money for a song once, what is the point of getting money on it again… However in this fight Mukesh Bhaiya, Manna Dey, Talat Mahmood and Kishore Da stood in support.

Only Ashaji, Rafi sahab and some singers did not like this thing. I think Rafi sahab was not properly aware about this whole issue and he was a victim of misunderstanding…and see the result was that not after many years I worked with Rafi sahab and Raj Kapoor Didn’t sing for Ji… but it was possible because of Burman Dada. When he was in our midst, we both started singing together. Everything between the two became normal only in 1967.
