A history of Hindi film music recounted from a list of 50 of Lata Mangeshakar's songs that she chose as her favorites.

Lata Mangeshkar, one of India's all-time most influential singers was known as ""the Nightingale of India."" For her album My Favourites, Vol. 2,

Lata chooses 50 songs as her favourites among her own work, from a

repository of over 5,000. This book covers an expanse of nearly forty

years, connecting you to the real-life events behind the songs, going

back to when music listening in India was limited to the radio, the 78

RPM shellac, the occasional visit to the cinema, and later, the vinyl

records, cassettes, and the 30 minutes Chitrahaar on television every week.
