Geeta
ji was blessed with a rich voice that was like an interacting
instrument that at once mesmerized her listeners. She
had such magic in her voice that charmed her listeners
like a snake is charmed to the music of a been.
She rendered songs from her heart making them so endearingly
heart rendering. When she sang "Thandi Hawaa Kaali Ghata"
you can feel the cool breeze of an overcast day. When
she sang "Koi Door Se Awaaz De" you can sense the feelings
of a hauntingly disturbed soul celebrating the resplendence
of life on one side and yet lamenting setbacks on the
other. As critic Subhash K. Jha puts it aptly "Geeta
Dutt's voice conveys the sweetness of honey and the
pain of the bee sting."
