I have never been a fan of Bappi Lahiri. However, I must admit, among all his imitations, ear shattering disco noise he came up with a few absolute gems. Here are a couple of them I have I am going to upload here....

'Zid Na Karo', a semi-classical knock out By K.J.Yesudas

Movie : Lahoo Ke Do Rang
Lyrics: Farooq Kaiser

Here's the burly man himself with the folkish number, one of his first chartbusters that gave him recognition.

'Bambai Se Aya Mera Dost' By Bappi Lahiri
Film : Aap Ki Khatir

Does Anyone know who wrote the song?

Another forgotten semi-classical/folk melody by K.J.Yesudas


'Dheere Dheere Subah Hui'
Lyric : Indeevar

Shaili Shailendra so says www.earthmusic.net which is more often than not right.

There's a Tandem by Lata ji too.

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Lata Mangeshkar too

Lyricist Shailendra's son...

This is a tandem song as well. The other version is by Vani Jairam.

Is it? Would love an upload if you or anyone else has it SB

Aap maaNgeN aur hum na deN, aisi to haalat nahi ab

KJY and BL have quite a few magical numbers

Mano ho tum behadh haseen!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone wants the song u/l

N

Ab?? Maane pehle the??
Ok end of nautanki ...
Thanks SB



Yep I love this one too, was it picturised on Shekhar Kapoor and Shabana? I have it Nimz, else would have taken you up on it.

Here's the Usha Utthup number ' Hari Om Hari ' that came out in 1980. I dug it out from an obscure, scratchy LP, transferred and remasted it just for you all Bappi Lahiri die hards out there. Not my kind of music, but I have it and am sharing it

Film: Pyara Dushman
Lyric : Anjaan

Thanks TB ji

Mah fav UU Whatta voice!!!!!!!!!!
Ps: Inspired from the english number One way ticket.....

BL was a mixed bag.
He gave 'maana ho tum behad haseen', and gave its mirror image in 'sapnon ke shahar hum basaayenge ghar'.
But he also gave the very very enchanting 'dard ki ragini' in Pyaas. I think this song would rank right up there in the classics.

Mandrake, I have never heard the Pyaas number Milega kya hame?!?!

N

Here you are



dard ki ragini muskurake chhed di...



Singer: Lata

Music: Bhappi Lahiri

Lyrics: Naqsh Layalpuri

Year: 1983



raag: kalaavati

Tji I am sure he does have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

N

Wow Mandrake Undoubtedly a gem!!!!! Hearing for the first time...... Lovely song..... thanks a ton!!!

Thanks TB ji for Zid Na Karo & Hari Om Hari Had been looking for them since quite some time

PS: Zid Na Karo had a RD touch to..... Or so I felt..... the musical arrangement style, use of strings & percussion etc. Awesome song for sure
