After Latadi, if any featured most in Salilda compositions in Hindi, its Mannada! An association that started with Do Bigha Zameen (1953) and went upto Room No.203 (1980) with some delectable songs pitched in..(around 41 songs)
What is interesting is the fact that Mannada sang under Salilda right from the later's first film...but all the succeeding films had him singing duets with Lata, Asha, Geeta in films
like Amanat, Tangewali, Parivar, Apradhi Kaun etc.
It was in 1957 when he got to sing his first solo and it was that very year where he got to go solo as many as 3 times (though he featured in all the 5 movies of Salilda that year).
I dunno which was released first amongst Apradhi Kaun, Laal Batti and Zamana, so hereby on Mannada's 92nd birthday posting a wonderful song from Zamana (1957), penned by Prem Dhawan!
