Everybody knows that Lata's first playback Hindi song was 'paa laagooN kar joree re'. But most people don't know who it was picturized on. I found out when I received the latest issue (174) of Listeners' Bulletin published by Har Mandir Singh "Hamraaz".

He started publishing it in 1971, almost 10 years before the first Geet Kosh was published! It has articles on unknown film people, new info about films and songs, book reviews, obituaries etc. As usual, one can subscribe to it by going to his website.

Oh I almost forgot, the person on screen was Rohini Bhate.
