Asha Bhosle[1] (born 8 September 1933) is an Indian playback singer and an entrepreneur. It was the first time she sang all the songs for a film's leading actress. They were so inseparable that when Lata went to school she would take Asha with her. At that time, she was performing in London with R. D. Burman. Another notable song from this period is "Shenbagamae" for the movie Enga Ooru Pattukaran in 1987.

She also recorded the song "The Way you Dream" (One Giant Leap,[32]) with Michael Stipe that was used in the English movie, Bulletproof Monk. Many people have speculated about a romantic relationship between the two. Renowned for her soprano voice range[12] and often credited for her versatility,[2][13][14] Bhosle's work includes film music, pop, ghazals, bhajans, traditional Indian classical music, folk songs, qawwalis, and Rabindra Sangeet.
Some Marathi films in which Asha Bhosle has rendered her voice are: Molkarin, Jait re Jait, Gharkul, Devbappa, Sangtye Aika, Singhasan, Saamna, Maratha Tituka Melvava, and Nivdung. [20][21], In May 2020, Bhosle launched her YouTube channel named Asha Bhosle Official.[22]. In the 1970s, Asha and Burman's youthful Western songs took Bollywood music by storm – the raunchy cabaret "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" (Caravan, picturized on Helen), the rebellious "Dum Maro Dum" (Hare Rama Hare Krishna, 1971), the sexy "Duniya Mein" (Apna Desh, 1972) and the romantic "Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne" (Yaadon Ki Baaraat, 1973). Asha had also sung for Anu's father Sardar Malik in the 1950s and 1960s, most notably in Saranga (1960). Report a problem?

[2][3][4] Bhosle's career started in 1943 and has spanned over seven decades. Ravi got her to sing bhajans for the movies Gharana, Grihasti, Kaajal and Phool Aur Patthar, at a time when most of the composers remembered her only when they needed to record B-grade songs picturized on the vamps or the side-heroines.
