This month has been hard for fans of Indian film music; two legends have been lost - Lata Mangeshkar on February 6, Bappi Lahiri last night. On Twitter today, both are being remembered with love and respect. Lata Mangeshkar and Bappi Lahiri collaborated on several unforgettable songs; she sang for his earliest films - in fact, she sang his first ever composition for a Bengali film titled Daadu - and he often credited her with helping him succeed in a tough business. Together, they gave Indian cinema hits like Thoda Resham Lagta Hain from Jyoti,Gori Hai Kalaiyaan from Aaj Ka Arjun, Naino Mein Sapna from Himmatwala, and Aao Tumhen Chand Pe Le Jayen and Abhi Abhi Thi Dushmani from Zakhmee.
