A recording of an old BBC ghazal of Jagjit and Chitra Singh has been discovered and being shared by their fans with fervour.
BBC recorded Jagjit & Chitra Singh Live: Kothe Te Aa in 1979. The performance stands out because as a fan points out it shows two serious-natured soul mates in a playful mood. While Jagjit is in a mischievous mood throughout, there is a magical moment when he makes even Chitra smile.
The year would have held a special significance for the musical couple. They would have been married for a decade and overcome the stigma of the re-marriage of a divorcee which had caused a scandal then - Chitra had married after divorcing her first husband.
By 1979 they would also have left their strugling years finally behind and made their professional mark and begun to enjoy life.
