Naushad is my other all time fav apart from ARR, but if you are mentioning for Khili Rey type of songs, I would say that C Ramchandra was a more appropriate composer to mention compared to Naushad. Hope some oldy-goldy fans would put their 2 cents who was a better master of this genre of songs. -- btw, the sweetness of oldy-goldies is euqally, or more, due to the sweet voice of Lata ji, as it was due to beautiful melodious tunes composted by then MDs. Sometimes I think what if ARR had been here in 1945-1960 and had got fresh Lata ji to sing for him when her voice was the raw-est and the sweetest, they together would have melt the world. -- Rawat
