For her 92nd birthday, her fans and followers received a special treat as a song she recorded more than 20 years ago for a movie that never hit the screen was released.
The song, titled Theek Nahin Lagta, was recorded in the 1990s, according to Hindustan Times. It was written by Gulzar and has now been released under Vishal’s music label, VB Records.
What emerges from a long lost tape is a record of tenderness, beauty and melody. This echo of the past resonates with the spirit of the Nightingale of India. Let the music and its vessel take your breath away. Happy birthday Lata didi!https://t.co/BEEOyJw0jF
