Asha Bhosle, one of the most versatile playback artists turned 78 today. I can think of the following songs which I feel were her best and could definitely not make it to the popularity charts. Chura Liya Hai Tumne, In Aankhon Ki Masti and songs like these from the late 70s and early 80s often eclipse the larger corpus of her creative acumen. The pieces of sheer brilliance listed below are definitely worth an ear on her birthday.
1. Saba Se Ye Keh Do Ki Kaliyan Bichhaaye
This one with Madan Mohan has all what makes for a soft romantic song!

2. Jab Din Haseen Dil Ho Jawan To Kyun Na Manayein Picnic
What a picnic song this one is!

3. Shokh Nazar Ki Bijliyan
With the accompaniment of Madan Mohan this one is brilliant once again!

4. Yehi Wo Jagah Hai Yehi Wo Fizaayein
Simply wonderful!
