Top 143 Hindi Songs of the 1960s
The Good Ol' Days
For India, the 1960s was a complex time. India fought two wars, grew its movie industry, and the Akashvani, on All India Radio (AIR), delivered information from all over India and the world, including the amazing voices of Lata, Rafi, and many other legends.
As a tribute to this classic era, I have written this list of the best Hindi songs of the 1960s. Writing this article was an absolute pleasure, as I got to revisit and listen to some rare gems. Hopefully, you'll discover that you love them and include them on your playlists.
Note: The list below is not from best to worst. The list is numbered to help you find and remember your favorites.
