Mohd Rafi has always been well known for his wonderful playback singing for Johnny Walker. Here's a reasonably rare one from the film Mujrim 1958, starring Shammi Kapoor and Geeta Bali. Music of O P Nayyar and lyrics of Majrooh.
This song is picturised on Johnny Walker Enjoy !  Sri "Jis din is duniya se nafrat aur khudgarzi mit jaayegi, us roz yeh insaan naachega, us roz yeh dharti gaayegi" - Rajinder Krishan (Maa baap 1959)

HAYE TABASSUM TERA ... a great Rafi song from the 60s, from the film Nishan (1965). This song had two versions - one sung by Rafi (u/l here) and one by Asha. I clearly remember the popularity of this song at the time it was released ... and it was heard on the radio quite frequently in those days.... thereafter it faded away somewhat, like many other songs of its time, ....probably because the movie was not a hit.
This lovely tune was composed by Usha Khanna and has lyrics of Javed Anwar For your information, Javed Anwar was the pen name of Usha Khanna's father Shri Manohar Lal Khanna - this information .... courtesy MAHESH Enjoy Sri "Jis din is duniya se nafrat aur khudgarzi mit jaayegi, us roz yeh insaan naachega, us roz yeh dharti gaayegi" - Rajinder Krishan (Maa baap 1959)

A lilting tune from the film Black Cat 1959 - sung by Rafi along with Suman Kalyanpur - well known in those days.
Nashe mein hum nashe mein tum - has music by one of the grossly underrated music directors of Hindi Film Music - N Dutta ( even though he has a road named after him in Bombay !! ) - with lyrics by Jan Nissar Akhtar This original appears to be digitised by Saregama music from a gramophone record Enjoy !

This one is for Mandrake
The title song sung by Rafi from the film Saaz aur awaz 1966 - starring Joy Mukherjee and Saira Banu. Great music by Naushad, the perfectionist, with lyrics coming from his usual partner Shakeel Badayuni Using the same tune for the different verses of a song ( with only the words changing ) was a 'standard' tradition for most music directors. But Naushad was different. he believed in providing 'more' to his fans. Many of his songs have completely different tunes for the different verses ( 2 or 3 ) and the interlude music for these verses would also have to be different, naturally. This particular song, as you will listen, has 3 completely different tunes for its 3 verses. That is why, I believe, that each of Naushad's songs ought to be counted as 2 or 3 songs of the 'standard'variety !! This song from Saaz aur Awaz, has been composed in the Raag Patdeep Enjoy ! Sri "Jis din is duniya se nafrat aur khudgarzi mit jaayegi, us roz yeh insaan naachega, us roz yeh dharti gaayegi" - Rajinder Krishan (Maa baap 1959)

Wow Sri!!!!
Thanks a million! Not just for the upload, but for the very, very informative write up. Hope I'll get to interact with you a lot more. What about the Lata number? Any hopes of getting that too? Self - belief is the most potent force.

If no one else is able to u/l this number, I will try and digitise from the movie soundtrack ... as soon as I get my VCR fixed !

Sri Being a fan of classic rock music in addition to classic Hindi Film songs (but of course), would like to add that the period from 1965 to 75 was when classic rock music was at its best. Though the golden period of Hindi film songs would probably have started a little earlier, in the mid-50's or so, perhaps our generation was fortunate to see both forms of music at their best! Was there something in the world social environment at that time that led to this? Cheers. |
