Geeta Dutt

Geetā Dutt (born Geetā Ghosh Roy Chowdhuri) (23 November 1930 -- 20 July 1972) was a prominent singer in India, born in Faridpur before the Partition of India. She found particular prominence as a playback singer in Hindi cinema. She also sang many modern Bengali songs.K. Hanuman Prasad took Geeta under his patronage, trained and groomed her in singing and later launched her into singing in the movies. In 1946, she got the first break when she got an opportunity to sing in mythological film Bhakta Prahlad (1946 film) for which Prasad was the music director. She was given only two lines to sing in the movie for a few songs. She was just sixteen at that time. But those two lines mesmerized everyone in the recording studio.
Ab jaani re pehchaani re
Suno suno vintee hamaari
Suno suno hari ki leela
Jaag uthe hum jaag uthe

In the same year, she also sang for Hunuman Prasad's other releases.
