Jukebox: 10 Suresh Wadkar Songs Worth Having On Your Playlist
On Suresh Wadkar’s birthday, here are his 10 most memorable film songs.
Eminent vocalist and playback singer Suresh Wadkar was aware of his life’s goal at the age of 10. Deeply rooted in classical music, he gave us some memorable film songs and worked with a range of music directors, from Laxmikant Pyarelal to Ilayaraja. In fact, when Lata Mangeshkar heard his voice for the first time at the beginning of his career, she was so smitten that she recommended his name to all the big composers and directors in the industry. Suresh Wadkar’s ghazals and devotional songs are as well known as his romantic filmi numbers and melancholic solos.
