These pages are my personal tribute to Alka Yagnik and her
wonderful, magical music. To me, and millions of others, Alka Yagnik is the
very best artist in Hindi movie music. All of the recognition and awards
bestowed upon her testify to this. She certainly deserves each one plus the
many more she will receive in the future. But to me, personally, it really does
not matter if she has 10 or 1000 awards. It changes nothing of how her music
touches me. Just the sound of her voice and the way she sings lifts my heart,
feelings and mood above all my cares. We admire your talent and thank you,
Alka-ji, for your gift of music to us all. We are your grateful and loyal
fans.
I have had the very great privilege to personally meet with Alka-ji, her mother and
daughter on a number of different occassions in Mumbai and Canada. Even though Alka-ji is so
very busy and such a celebrity, she, and her family, have taken the time to see me,
one of her zillion fans, and make me feel so very comfortable and welcome. It
was a thrill to chat with these ladies and have the chance to personally thank
Alka-ji for her wonderful music. I can say that she is truly a genuinely
wonderful person in addition to being such an extraordinary artist.
I have heard Alka-ji sing live in concert and also been present in the
studio listening to Alka-ji record. I marvel at her mastery and control
over her beautiful voice as she produces the music we
all love so much.
