Songs of the Century - Old Hindi Songs

Sit back. This is going to be a long and pleasant journey ahead. Over a period of time, I will try to compile a list of around 100 songs from the last 100 years (These might not include songs I have never heard or relished. Favourite songs are a question of perception, so please look at it objectively. And the songs are not in any particular order)

Song	Chhod Do Anchal
Movie	Paying Guest

Song	Mera Kuchh Saaman
Movie	Ijaazat
Composer	R.D.Burman
Year	1988

Song	Dil Cheez Kya Hai
Movie	Umrao Jaan
Composer	Khayyam
Year	1981
Singer	Asha Bhosle
Comment	Asha at one of her best. I would rate this song musically a masterpiece. It touches your heart. The song was accentuated wonderfully by none other than the scintillating Rekha. With her histrionics and Asha's wonderful voice, I would rate this song one among the top.
