The legendary Lata Mangeshkar recorded her first song in 1942 at the age of 13 years only. Her last recorded song was in 2015, in an Indo-Pak gay love story.
In this record-shattering 73 years, Lata Mangeshkar delivered continuous playbacks and remained the high priestess of Bollywood singing.
Lata Mangeshkar has inherited singing from her family as she was born into a family of performers.
Her father ran a theatre company and by pursuing singing, the Mangeshkar sisters wanted to carry forward their father’s rich legacy.
