K L Saigal Hits Vol 1 | Jab Dil Hi Toot Gaya | K L Saigal Songs

K L Saigal or Kundan Lal Saigal is a known legend in Indian Playback and semi classical history. Saigal was a born talent and he started singing at a very early age after being trained in Indian classical music. In his prolifique career K. L. Saigal has sang and acted in a number of hindi films. The most notable of them was Pramathesh Chandra Barua's adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's Devdas. K L Saigal has delivered enormous number of hit songs for various films like Devdas, shahjehan, President, Bhakt Surdas and Tansen. His song " Jab dil hi toot gaya" from the film shahjehan directed by A.R. Kardar which released in 1946 is still held as one of the most passionate songs sung with ethos in the history of hindi film music.
Another smash hit by K L Saigal which is part of this collection was the song " So Ja Rajkumari" from the film Zindagi directed by the legendary P.C.Barua which released in the year 1940. This was the Golden Era when New Theatre productions bloomed in their full glory. Saigal's association with New Theatres continued to bear fruit in the successful films Didi (Bengali), President (Hindi) in 1937, Desher Mati (Bengali), Dharti Mata (Hindi) in 1938, Saathi (Bengali), Street Singer (Hindi) in 1938, Dushman (1939), and Zindagi in 1940, with Saigal in the lead. There are a number of songs of this era which form the rich heritage of film music in India.
Another film which became a legend was the Prithvi Raj Kapoor starer "The President" which was directed by Nitin Bose and was released in the year 1937. Saigal sang the legendary song Ek Bangla Bane Nyara for this film which is in this compilation.
Sadly Saigal died at a very early age of 42 owing to his over fondness for alcohol. In a career of fifteen years, Saigal acted in 36 feature films - 28 in Hindi, seven in Bengali, and one in Tamil. In addition, he acted in a short comedy Hindi film, Dulari Bibi (three reels), released in 1933. In 1955, B.N. Sircar released a documentary film based on the life of K.L. Saigal, Amar Saigal. In the film, G. Mungheri performed the title role of Saigal. The film contained 19 songs lifted from Saigal's films. In all, Saigal rendered 185 songs which includes 142 film songs and 43 non-film songs.
Saigal's distinctive singing was revered and idolized by the first generation of post-independence Hindi Film playback singers, including Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi and Mukesh.

The only (divine) singer whose every song I have heard (almost 110 songs) is a gem . After listening to each and every song for more than twenty times, I like to listen it again n again n again .

[@hareshdesar6231]

Leo Shaun dear Leo. . I shall be highly obliged if you let me know the name of the book in which Saigals's memories are portrayed. Call it not seven years but forty years' itch, I could get his albums ultimately from Matunga. It was a golden moment for me. Please let me know the books literature published on him.

[@raghurambabladi1633]

Haresh Desar Sir....I know only one book covering the biography of Saigal Sahab..was written......Its name....Pilgrim of Swara...Author....the great Raghava R Menon...A Sangeet Prabhakar of Allahabad University.....Its a marvellous book...but very difficult to procure...as very few copies were printed...Try your luck...

[@manjurawat1239]

[@waqasshaikh4365]

An icon in the art of music. It is sad that he died so young but his voice will live for ever. My father died about 10 years ago and he loved KL saigal sahib. He couldn't sleep with out listening to at least one of his song..

[@nsureshkumar3121]

Gem of Gems was the Great Kundan Lal Saigal Sahab. Words fall short of description to describe his prowess in singing.

[@kittapparayaprolu9867]

His voice, the melody are heavenly, God inspired. In the film field no one has has equalled him all these years, not even close to him-- and in future unlikely as the music today seems to be drifting away from the devine Indian music. Thanks to those who uploaded the everlasting clips. Kittappa.

[@SalmanRavoof]

This music is great, but it's not like there haven't been anyone better out there. Many greats of Indian music followed right after Saigal left. He set a trend for sure.

[@ShivKumarPurohit]

His songs were very unique and lovely. My two favourite singers Mukesh and K L Saigal Ji. I have many of the both singer's songs on 78RPM records that I play on my 1920 Gramophone made by Columbia. K L Saigal & Pankaj Mullick were one of the best duos at that time and in fact, any time. The New Theatres era was indeed the best commencement of Bollywood. The best people, unfortunately are not around anymore but their memories hopefully will stay immortal forever, inevitably. Thanks for sharing this collection; it would be better if the 78RPM tracks hadn't been edited as their sound quality would be the best. Regardless, a great collection.

Brings back almost lost and forgotten memories of pre-partition years, for I grew up on the other side of the border! Enjoy listening to you now Mr Saigal.
