Mangeshkar holds the record of being the oldest winner at the age of 61 of this award. She received her recent award in this category for the songs of film Lekin.... The jury presented her this award "for singing with outstanding expressions with the rarest and purest of styles."[5]

Filmfare Awards

The Filmfare Awards for playback singing first started in 1959. In 1956, the song 'Rasik Balma' from the film Chori Chori by Shankar Jaikishan won the Best Song Filmfare Award. Lata refused to sing it live in protest of absence of a Playback Singer category. The category was finally introduced in 1959. Though, separate awards for male & female singers were introduced later on. Lata Mangeshkar monopolized the best female playback singer award from 1959 to 1967. In 1970, Lata made the unusual gesture of giving up Filmfare awards in order to promote fresh talent.
