"Meri yaad mein tum na aansoo bahana, na ji ko jalana, mujhe bhul jana...", was one of Talat Mehmood’s most unforgettable songs rendered way back in 1951. Thereafter for nearly two decades, Talat sang one hit ghazal after another and continued to mesmerize the legions of ghazal aficionados both in India and abroad. Even today 64 years later, their musicality and lyricism continue to haunt three generations of his loyal fans for whom Talat was truly a legend.
