Chitra Singh (maiden name Née Dutta), born in a
Bengali family had no formal musical training but had strong roots
of music in her family and learnt much of her music by listening to
her mother's guru.
Chitra Singh had married very early and this child bride was a
mother before she stopped being a child herself. She married Mr.
Datta and on a transferable job landed in Bombay. Mr. Datta ran a
sound recording studio from his home where they stayed, he recorded
jingles there then and shortly Chitra Datta became the undisputed
jingle queen of the town. Among other people she met Jagjit Singh
around this time and did some odd jingle together.
Chitra Datta’s
marriage was nearly over when Jagjit made an appearance in her life
and they were married in the year 1970 joining lives and career
together and she became Chitra Singh. Then both released their first
album The Unforgettables
rest was success for all the albums they released.
