Rarely has a nursery rhyme been imbued with so much feeling. Listen to this quasi-Hindustani (but English) rendition of "Jack 'n' Jill"--I'm told it's by the legendary singer KL Saigal, but then again I received it via email from my sister, so take that with a grain of salt:
For those unfamiliar with early Bollywood history, Saigal was an actor-singer in the early 1930s who rose to become a legend over the next few years. His distinctive singing style, as you will hear, echoes the sound/music aesthetics of that time.
Any idea who actually sang this?
