Based on Hindi Film Geet Kosh and Nerurkar's Gandhar Svaryatra (1989) I prepared stats of here songs. This was published on RMIM.
August 1995
Lata Mangeshkar - Music Directors
Dear fellow RMIMwallas:
I was hoping to avoid typing in everything, but there have
been so many e-mail messages from "children" for complete info that
I will type it in. The following list reads like the who's who of
Hindi movie music directors. The only missing name is that of
O. P. Nayyar with whom Lata did not sing even once!
The list is copied from the book referenced below; I have
rearranged it in the decreasing order of number of songs. Other than
that, I have made no changes.
In my opinion, this is the complete and up-to-date info on all
the Hindi movie songs, solos, duets, choruses etc. by Lata. This is an
improvement over the info in the encycloaedias. Firstly because encycos go
only up to 1980, whereas this list goes up to 1989. (The book has a
publication date of October 29, 1989, so it does not include all of 1989,
however.) Secondly, the third volume (1951-1960) of the encyclopaedia was
published in January 1980, and, more info is now available than it was
at that time. Mr. Har Mandir Singh "Hamraaz" is preparing the updated
revised edition of this volume now. I will post the info when it is
available.
Also, in my opinion, Lata is the most admired singer, even
though Asha has sung more songs. It follows that the relative number N of
songs Lata has sung with any MD (apart from the OPN anamoly!)
can serve as a first approximation to the popularity (not necessarily
quality) of the particular MD, unless the difference is less than
the square root of N, (assuming Gaussian distribution) in which case
both could be considered equally popular.
The list has the name of the MD (and his group, if any), the
total number of songs with them and the total number of films with them.
Apart from the usual songs, the list includes even those songs which
were removed from the movie or for which no records were issued or
from the movies that were never released. It should be mentioned that the
total number of estimated songs in all the Hindi movies from the period
1931-1980 is 44000 and the total number of movies from the same
period is believed to be 5664.

The total number of MD groups is 165, the number of songs is
5067, and the total number of movies is 1825. Because of the bookkkeeping
method adopted by the editor, 10 songs have been attributed to the
MD's twice. Also from the book, I can mention that 3341 solos, 1434 duets
with males, 244 duets with females and 48 songs with more that one
partner, were sung by Lata.
Next time, I will endeavor to type in the same kind of info for
the lyricists: the info about male, female and more than one partners
will follow after that.
The above info comes mostly from the book
"Lata Mangeshkar Gandhar Svaryaatraa 1945-1989"

Lata & 239 lyricists of Hindi movie songs
Dear fellow RMIMwallas and walliis,
The following is a continuation of my previous post about
Lata's songs. Once again, this includes only songs from HINDI MOVIES,
other languages are excluded and non-filmi songs are also excluded.
This one is about lyricists. I believe that she sang for
almost every lyricist who wrote songs for Hindi movies after 1946
or so.
In my opinion, Lata (about 5250 songs up to 1992) is the
most admired female singer, even though Asha (about 7500 songs up
to 1992) has sung more songs. Clearly the relative number of songs
Lata has sung for any lyricist can serve as a first approximation
to the popularity (not necessarily quality) of the particular
songwriter.
The list has the name of the lyricist (and his collaborator,
if any), the total number of songs with them and the total number of
films with them. Apart from the usual songs, the list includes even
those songs which were removed from the movie or for which no records
were issued or from the movies that were never released. It should be
mentioned that the total number of estimated songs in all the Hindi
movies from the period 1931-1992 is 50000 and the total number of
Hindi movies from the same period is believed to be about 7000.
Once again, this is straight from the book, no editing
has been done by me, except to correct obvious misspellings.
Note: To make the pronunciation easy, I have used the excellent
transliteration scheme of Avinash Chopde, mostly.

Next time, I will endeavor to type in the same kind of info for
about Lata's male singing partners in Hindi movies.
**********************************************************************
A comparison with Mukesh:
For comparison purposes it may be noted that all the songs ever
sung by Mukesh, during the period 1941-1982, in movies of all languages
and including non-movie records like bhajans, ghazals etc. is 994.
A compilation of the FULL TEXT of each of the 992 songs (info about
2 bangla songs was obtained after the publication of the book) and all the
relevant info about the song, like the movie, year, MD, lyricists
and co-singers, if any, was published by Mr. Harish Raghuwanshi of
Surat, Gujarat in a 684-page book called "Mukesh Geet Kosh" in 1985.
The book is out of print now, but Mr. Raghuvanshi is working on the
second edition. He has recently published an authoritative and
comprehensive 412 page encyclopaedia of 599 Gujarati movies (1932-1994).

One final note: Many of you have written saying that I have done
a job that is herculean, monumental, heroic, marathon etc. Please
remember that the compilers have put in much greater effort working for
many many years, going to the Poona archives, HMV archives in Bombay
and Calcutta, the famous booklet shop of Mr. Hussainibhai Bookletwalla
of Grant Road, Bombay, private record collections, cine artists
and what not. In comparison with all that, I remain, sirs and madams,

Lata & 93 male singers of Hindi movie songs
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear fellow RMIMwallas and walliis,
The following is a continuation of my previous three posts
about Lata's songs, which were: a statistical summary, Lata with
various music directors and lyricists.
Again, this includes only songs from HINDI MOVIES, other
languages are excluded and non-filmi songs are also excluded.
This one is about her male singing partners. Interestingly, even
people who are not professional singers, (like suniil dutt, for
example) but said or sang a word or two are included, presumably
because their names are mentioned on the record. I believe that
she sang for almost every male singer who sang for Hindi movies
after 1946 or so. For more info, please read the earlier posts.
The list is arranged in the following way. There is the name
of the male singer, total number of songs with him, total number
of movies in which Lata sang with him, total number of duets (in
which only Lata and this male is featured), the total number of
songs with this male and other people (it implies a triplet or a
chorus).
Note: To make the pronunciation easy, I have adhered to the
excellent transliteration scheme of Avinash Chopde, a scheme
which should be universally adopted.

Lata & 57 female singers of Hindi movie songs
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dear fellow Music Lovers,
The following is the last post in the series of posts
about Lata's songs. The previous ones were:
1) Lata - A statistical summary,
2) Lata with various music directors,
3) lyricists and
4) male singers.
Again, this includes only songs from HINDI MOVIES, other
languages are excluded as are non-filmi songs. This one is about
her female singing partners. As before, even people who are not
professional singers, (like saadhanaa, for example) but said or
sang a word or two are included, presumably because their names
are mentioned on the record. I believe that she sang with almost
every female singer who sang for Hindi movies after 1947 or so.
For more info, please read the earlier posts.
The list is arranged as follows. There is the name of the
female singer, total number of songs with her, total number of
movies in which Lata sang with her, total number of duets (in
which only Lata and the female is featured), the total number
of songs with Lata, her and other people (it implies a triplet
or a chorus).
Note: To make the pronunciation easy, I have adhered to the
excellent transliteration scheme of Avinash Chopde, a scheme
which should be universally adopted.
