GENESIS : It
all started as the quest of an individual to collect a few more of
Saigal songs and listen to them in the hope of being able to sing a
larger number of his songs to himself.
Having
collected a fairly large number of songs and associated resources from
the Internet, the urge to share the same with other Fans led to
setting up of this website.
Soon,
support and encouragement started pouring in from several well-known
music

lovers and Collectors like Dr ML Kapur, Dr Surjit
Singh, Zainuddin Vahanvaty, Mr Zafar, Ms
Vijoilakshmi Ram Bhat, Mr
Kamalakar Pasupuleti, Dr Jyothi Prakash Guha,
Dr

Agra-based
Music Collector Late Mr Hem Chand Jain became the self-
appointed Mentor of the site, providing invaluable
support and insisting that all available Saigal songs be posted on the
site for the benefit of other music lovers.
Thanks
to his vision and generosity, two of Saigals rarest of rare songs found their way into
this website and thus into the public domain. It is thus that the
most comprehensive archive of Saigal songs to become available online
took shape
