An era of music gone; Indias nightingale no more

Lata Mangeshkar, who was known as the 'Queen of Melody' and the 'Nightingale of India,' breathed her last at 8:12 am on Sunday. Ms. Mangeshkar, who was 92, was taken to the Intensive Care Unit on January 8 after testing positive for COVID-19.

Ms. Mangeshkar, born in 1929, was the eldest of five siblings, who began her career in music at the age of 13, juggling singing with acting in Marathi films.

20 భాషల్లో 1000 సినిమాల్లో 50 వేలకు పైగా పాటలు పాడిన లతాజీ సరస్వతీ స్వర నిధి. ఆమె సంగీత మహల్. వెండితెర మీది నటి హావభావాలకు అనుగుణంగా ఆ నటియే స్వయంగా పాడుతుందా అన్నట్టు తన గాత్రాన్ని అందించిన లతాజీ గొప్ప నేపథ్యగాయని: సీఎం

భారత దేశానికి లతా మంగేశ్వర్ ద్వారా గాంధర్వ గానం అందిందని, ఆమె భారతీయ సంగీతానికి దేవుడిచ్చిన వరం అని సీఎం అన్నారు. లతా జీ మరణంతో పాట మూగ బోయినట్లైందని, సంగీత మహల్' ఆగిపోయిందని విచారం వ్యక్తం చేశారు.
