I love and admire you more than I can say, Ashaji.. Through your songs we felt the love, the longing.. the pain and the passion.. I will hold on to this for life and one day soon I hope I can play your songs for you on this.
Asha Bhosle, born on September 8, 1933, is one of the most iconic and versatile voices in Indian music, with a career spanning more than seven decades.

She became particularly famous through her collaborations with composers such as R. D. Burman, O. B. Nayyar, and Khayyam. Some of her memorable songs include “Piya Tu Ab To Aaja” (Caravan), “Dum Maro Dum” (Hare Rama Hare Krishna), “In Aankhon Ki Masti” (Umrao Jaan), “Yeh Mera Dil” (Don), and “Chura Liya Hai Tumne” (Yaadon Ki Baaraat).
Each of these verses reflects her ability to bring a distinct mood and personality to the song.
