Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar says re-mixes and cover versions of old classics are very lazy routes to instant success.

Shankar Mahadevan’s dream came true when he recorded his first-ever duet with Lata Mangeshkar earlier this month. A devotional the music for the song was composed by Mayuresh Pai. We now learn from very reliable sources that the enterprising Shankar Mahadevan is planning a peace album with the Nightingale. Containing songs about healing the world the songs, we are told, would convey the same therapeutic effect as Lataji’s Ae mere watan ke logon and Jo samar mein ho gaye amar.
