She sang over 6,000 songs in various languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, and Punjabi, with 1287 being Hindi film songs. Her career spanned from the 1940s to the early 1970s, during which she released singles like Chandni Raat (1949) and Babul (1966). She received several awards, including the Padma Bhushan Award in 2009. Shamshad Begum passed away on April 23, 2013.
