Singing style

In her heyday, Lata's mastery over pitch and scale was amazing. Bade Ghulam Ali Khan once said about Lata that "she never sings off-key." Lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri said about her "It isn't as though she always got great lines to sing. It's the magic of her voice that elevates the lyrics."
