#UshaUthup born 7 November 1947 is an #Indianpop, #filmi, #jazz, and #playbacksinger who sang songs in the late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. "#Darling", which she recorded with #RekhaBhardwaj for the film #7KhoonMaaf, won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer in 2012. She also sang the title song for the show #SarabhaivsSarabhai in its first season. Usha was born into #Tamil family in #Mumbai in 1947. Her father was Vaidyanath Someshwar Sami who hailed from #Chennai, in #TamilNadu.

Her parents used to listen to a wide range from Western classical to #Hindustani and #Carnatic including #KishoriAmonkar and #BadeGhulamAliKhan on radio and she used to join them. She used to enjoy listening to #RadioCeylon. By happenstance, a film crew belonging to Navketan unit and #DevAnand visited the nightclub and they offered her a chance to sing movie playback. As a result, she started her Bollywood career with Ivory-Merchant's Bombay Talkies (1970) in which she sang an English number under Shanker-Jaikishan and then #HareRamaHareKrishn.

In 1968, she recorded covers of two pop songs in English, "Jambalaya" and The Kingston Trio's "Greenback Dollar", on an EP, Love Story, and "Scotch and Soda", another Kingston Trio song, which sold very well in the Indian market. She also spent some time in London during this early period. She was a frequent visitor to Vernon Corea's BBC office at the Langham in London and was interviewed on London Sounds Eastern on BBC Radio London. Usha visited Nairobi as part of an Indian festival. She was so popular that she was invited to stay on. Singing and quite often nationalistic songs in Swahili made her extremely popular and the then President Jomo Kenyatta made her an Honorary Citizen of Kenya. She sang the famous song "Malaika" ('Angel') with Fadhili Williams who was the original singer. She produced a record "Live in Nairobi" with a local band Fellini Five.

She sang several songs in the 1970s and 1980s for music directors #R.D.Burman and #BappiLahiri. She also reprised some of R. D. Burman songs that were sung by others such as "#MehboobaMehbooba" and "#DumMaroDum" and popularised them to a distinct end.
#KoiYahanAhaNacheNache is from the film #DiscoDancer sung by itself #UshaUthap, #HariOmHari is from the movie #PyaaraDushman released in 1980.
