One more Asha concert - Pancham the main theme
http://www.kavitachhibber.com/asha_unplugged_rev.html âI realized that giving is something that no one can take away from you. The rewards of giving go far beyond money and material things. Giving is something you will be able to take with you wherever you go for the rest of your life."

Bhosle regaled the audience with songs in the voices of Kishore Kumar, Rafi, S.D. and R. D Burman. K.L Sehgal, Hemant Kumar, Manna Dey and Amitabh Bachchan. He belted out popular numbers like Mere makhna, tum kya jaano, rang barse, ke pag ghungroo, Hai Apna Dil to Awara, Ai mere Pyare Watan,Tere Sajan Hain Us Paar, Zindagi ka safar and duets with Asha Bhosle that were delightful. It is amazing to see the range in his voice and his ability to pull this off since these singers have pretty dissimilar voices and distinct singing styles.(Continue reading)
