Swarapriya ji, Aji kya rakha hai gynam mein is not a Rafi-Kishore duet. It has been sung only by Rafi sahab.

Swarapriya ji, Aji kya rakha hai gynam mein is not a Rafi-Kishore duet. It has been sung only by Rafi sahab. HumTum ji, Technically you are right. The song begins with some chuckles and silliness that belongs to Kishore da, I believe. There after, the song in its entirety is sung by Rafi Saab. Also, Earthmusic gives this as a duet of Kishoreda and Rafi Saab. I don't mind changing it to Rafi Saab only, but my information was based on the above. Cheers, Swarapriya This post has been edited by swarapriya: Oct 18 2008, 06:29 AM |

Dear Swarapriya,
I have been on HF for a long time but have been a very infrequent visitor of late. One of the biggest rewards of my return - and a key contributor that has kept me coming back over the past few weeks - has been your uploads. The care you take over the audio quality, the trouble you take to supply detailed information about the films/songs, and your unflagging enthusiasm (shown most clearly in your absolutely incredible upload/download ratio!) have enriched HF. Thank you for all this! I discovered this thread late but was thrilled to discover that may of the earlier uploads are still available. My collection of O P Nayyar songs has zoomed overnight! A few points about some of the songs/films that have come up in this thread: - In 'Sone Ki Chidiya', the nazm "aaj kii raat bahut garm havaa chalatii hai" was written by Kaifi Azmi and not by Sahir. Exon asked whether it was recited by Kaifi Azmi; I am not sure, but it *does* sound like his voice. Interested listeners can decide for themselves by comparing the voice to the 30-second Kaifi Azmi recording from 1969 that I am uploading below. (A later recording of the same nazm in Kaifi's voice is also available in the album "Kaifiyat" which has him reciting his own poetry, but I don't have that album readily available right now; also, that is a recording made much after he had had a stroke that made his voice much deeper and much more gruff, so it may not be an apt comparison point anyway.) - Re. "chal akelaa" from 'Sambandh': OPN is quoted (in a Marathi article by the journalist Ambarish Mishra) as saying that he took Mukesh for the song at Asha's specific recommendation. He said he didn't normally use Mukesh but that Asha suggested that he would be right for this song; OPN says he was very happy with the result. He also says that Pradeep had suggested a tune to the song and wanted to sing it himself; OPN had to fight with the producer to use the tune and the singer of his (OPN's) choice. - The lyrics of the mukhaDaa of the 'Basant' song "ham ne unake saamane pahale to kha.njar rakh diyaa" are identical to the prelude of the song "chaahe to moraa jiyaa lai le" from the 1966 film 'Mamta'. 'Basant' - which came six years earlier - had lyrics by Qamar Jalalabadi; the lyricist for "Mamta" was Majrooh Sultanpuri. Given that Majrooh asked Faiz for permission before using just one line - "terii aa.Nkho.n ke sivaa duniyaa me.n rakhaa kyaa hai" - from a Faiz nazm, one assumes he must have taken permission from Qamar too before using these lines. Once again, thanks for your immense contribution to the forum! Warm regards, Abhay (This snippet is taken from the album "Mirza Ghalib - Portrait of a Genius". This album was brought out as part of Ghalib's death centenary commemoration. Kaifi Azmi read out extracts from Ghalib's prose writings as a prelude to the ghazals sung by Begum Akhtar (2 ghazals) and Mohammed Rafi (6 ghazals) under Khaiyyam's baton.) |

Hi, I do not remember from where I had downloaded this nazm "aaj kii raat bahut garm havaa chalatii hai" few years ago. As per this file, the nazm is recited by Balraj Sahni. Somebody can listen and confirm whether it is so. Rajan This post has been edited by RajanCS: Oct 18 2008, 08:15 PM |

Dear Swarapriya, Once again, thanks for your immense contribution to the forum! Warm regards, Hello Abhay, I'll tell you what. It is such thoughtful comments like yours that you have taken time to inscribe here make it worthwhile for me to move forward with even more enthusiasm. These songs gave me immense pleasure over the years (and still continue to give me the same pleasure). I believe I became a better person just listening to them over and over again. Spreading joy is so much fun to do. And, sharing is always such a joy. Many many cheers to you, Swarapriya This post has been edited by swarapriya: Oct 23 2008, 10:27 AM |

Kabhi Andhera Kabhi Ujala (1958)
Here is another beautiful album from OP. This one stars my favorite lady Nutan and the inimitable Kishore Kumar. Almost all songs from this movie were popular. Yet, I found it difficult to secure all the songs. The songs I am uploading are not complete. They came from various CD collections and some of them from the Forum members themselves. The quality of almost all songs is from very good to excellent. There are eight songs in this movie and I am uploading six of them here. The missing ones are shown in red italics in the table below. I am requesting the Forum membership to share these missing songs if they have them. Kishore da's "Surma Mera Nirala" was a chart buster. It still adorns any number of his CD compilations. Rightfully so. Only Kishore ji could sing such songs, yodelling and changing voice so many different ways. There are four solos by Ashaji, her usual quota for a typical OP album. As usaually the case, she always gives her best for OP. But for me the standout song of the album is the duet of Ashaji with Manna Dey "Baahon Ko Zara Lehraa Do". It was done very beautifully and stays lingering with you for a long time. I don't recall too many songs Manna da sang for OP. Can anybody please throw some light on this? Now for the details of the songs and the songs themselves ... This post has been edited by swarapriya: Oct 23 2008, 06:40 AM Attached image(s) |
