Dev Anand gave Bollywood some of its most memorable films. One of the highlights of Dev Anand's films was its songs. As per him, the songs were the soul of a film. He always made it sure that he gets a few songs on him. He even rejected the films in which there is no song for the hero. One such movie was 'Zanjeer' offered to him, which finally went to Amitabh Bachchan.
He was the Indian actor with the maximum number of hit songs and his numbers are the A to Z of film music. He appeared in more than 100 films and 500 plus songs were picturized on him. In this blog, I have collected songs picturized on him on every letter of the English alphabet. Surprisingly except for the letter 'X', his songs started from all the alphabets of English.
