Lata Mangeshkar (Marathi) born September 28, 1929) is a singer from India. She is one of the best-known and most respected playback singers in India.Mangeshkar’s career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades.She has recorded songs for over a thousand Bollywood movies and has sung songs in over thirty-six regional Indian languages
and foreign languages, though primarily in Hindi. She is the elder sister of singer Asha Bhosle and Hridayanath Mangeshkar, Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. She is the second vocalist to have ever been awarded the Bharat Ratna,India’s highest civilian honour.Mangeshkar was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1974 to 1991for having made the most recordings in the world. The claim was that she had recorded approximately 25,000 solo, duet, and chorus-backed songs in 20 Indian languages between 1948 to 1974 (30,000 songs between 1948 and 1987, according to the 1987 edition). Over the years,while several sources have supported this claim, others have raised concerns over its veracity,claiming that this number was highly exaggerated and that Mangeshkar’s younger sister, Asha Bhosle,had more song recordings than she had.
