Re: Comedienne Tun Tun passes away

If the song was any good,  it is reasonable to assume that:

       1  Some music reviewer from a magazine might have  mentioned it
           (reviews from individuals were not published, until the advent
            of  internet  and  then  the  NewsGroups like this forum) 

       2   HMV  or  any of the other non-authorized  Tape mfrer (EMI-
            Pakistan,  Advance Sargam - aka:  IndianScreen.com,  United
            Records Pakistan  etc. ,     - might have  released it.

       3   The criteria for selecting a song, when it is only 10 years old
             (and may be available)  is quite different than when it is  
            40  plus years old  and almost impossible to locate.  

       4    Hamraaz's criterias for selecting the songs is not applicable.

              He compiled the list  and had to list all the songs.  Desirability
              and  Availability  were not the issues.  As an  added attraction,
              he also listed in few cases, records & recordings which were 
              scrapped  (e.g.:  Babul / Naushad:  2 songs by  Hemat  and
              Hemant + Geeta).

        5    The MD  tag  to a song is only a minor consideration.  Naushad,
              and  for that matter, each  and  every  MD  has created  JUNK,
              Un-listenable  and  Passable compositions.  Yes, the good 
              Music Directors have created  Great,  Good  and  O.K. songs.
              The percentage of these listenable songs, is not more than
               30%  even for  the  most highly rated MDs.

               If you don't believe me,  select any  of your top-rated MD,
               compile the list of songs which you like (not what you have),
               Cross-Check with another listener in your  age-group   (i.e.:
               plus / minus 5 or 7 years)
