I just read about Asha Bhosle’s concert in Australia. It reminded me all the Asha Bhosle songs that I love. Hindi Cinema was truly blessed to have R. D. Burman and Asha Bhosle. I love almost all songs composed by R.D. Burman and performed by Asha Bhosle but here is a shortlist of my favorite songs sung by Asha Bhosle:

• O Meray Sona Re (Lyrics)
  From the 1966 classic ‘Tesri Manzil’. The song is picturized on Shammi Kapoor and Asha Parekh. Teesri Manzil was one of many hit movies featuring the music of R.D. Burman, voice of Asha Bhosle and produced and directed by Nasir Hussain.
