Mukesh Birth Centenary: Manoj Kumar reminisces, “Songs sung by him could not be sung by any other singer”

Mukesh was a singer who never failed his songs. No matter what he sang, he was always a winner with his fans. The Mukesh bhakts loved to hear him sing about the broken heart. Truly, who could equal the plaintive and poignant ‘Sajanwa Bairi Ho Gaye Hamaar’ (Teesri Kasam), ‘Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din’ (Mera Naam Joker), ‘Chandi Ki Deewar Na Todi’ (Vishwas) and ‘Humne Apna Sab Kuch Khoya’ (Saraswatichandra)? My favourite song of heartbreak by Mukesh is ‘Tum Bin Jeevan Kaise Beeta’ from the film Anita composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Each word of the melody leaves an everlasting imprint on the heart. The song was filmed on Manoj Kumar whose preferred ghost voices were Mahendra Kapoor and Mukesh. Recalling his long and enormously fruitful association with Mukesh, Manoj Kumar said, “Most of my sad songs were sung by Mukesh. No one could match him in the tragic songs. My own favourite is ‘Koi Jab Tumhara Hriday Tod De’ from Purab Aur Paschim. ‘Ek Pya...
