Lata Mangeshkar practically defines the sound of the entire Indian film industry. Her voice has no longer remained just hers; it has come to be recognized as the voice of Indian films. She has sung for so many different composers and yet has managed to capture the essence of each master’s music through her songs. Through the medium of popular music, she has introduced the common man to the beauty of different ragas.

This book, Lata-Voice of the Golden Era, will be an invaluable asset for all music lovers who wish to really understand and appreciate Lataji’s amazing contribution in enriching Indian popular music. It is a pioneering project, which will be recognized as the first serious critical analysis of a great singing career.
