K L Saigal or Kundan Lal Saigal is a known legend in Indian Playback and semi classical history. Saigal was a born talent and he started singing at a very early age after being trained in Indian classical music. In his prolifique career K. L. Saigal has sang and acted in a number of hindi films. The most notable of them was Pramathesh Chandra Barua's adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's Devdas. K L Saigal has delivered enormous number of hit songs for various films like Devdas, shahjehan, President, Bhakt Surdas and Tansen. His song " Jab dil hi toot gaya" from the film shahjehan directed by A.R. Kardar which released in 1946 is still held as one of the most passionate songs sung with ethos in the history of hindi film music.
Another smash hit by K L Saigal which is part of this collection was the song " So Ja Rajkumari" from the film Zindagi directed by the legendary P.C.Barua which released in the year 1940. This was the Golden Era when New Theatre productions bloomed in their full glory.
