The period Mukesh lived in was the golden period of Hindi film music. While Raj Kapoor, Mukesh, Shailendra, Hasrat Jaipuri, and Shanker Jaikishan were almost a unit, Mukesh sang for many major actors, songs written and composed by almost all the notable song witers and music directors of his time, and it seemed that each song was written and composed for him only. He could sing full throat if the song so demanded of him. You can hum a good number of his songs to yourself. Scores of his songs come to mind vying for a place in any list that you take up making. "jeena yahaa.n, marna yahaa.n..", "zikr hota hei jab qayaamat ka.." etc.
A list very illustrative of Mukesh's lifework.
