Mahesh..thanks for these rare songs. Never heard that Hemant sang them. It would be very interesting to listen to the Maestro.

I heard Manna dey sand for pyasa.
Anyone got those songs?

2 saal pehle ye song maine u/l kiya tha--i hope someone ll u/l it again 4 u.

Somehow I missed this thread. Version songs are interesting in my view.

Any chance some can u/l them again please..

Takra gaya (Version Song) - Hemant Kumar - Aan (1952) - Naushad - Shakeel Badayuni - 3:21 - 64 kbps
Mera Jeevan Sathi Bichud Gaya (Version Song) - Hemant Kumar - Babul (1950) - Naushad - Shakeel Badayuni - 3:20 - 64 kbps

Thanks for these uploads. Interesting!

Mera Jeevan Saathi is well sung but in Takra Gaya Tumse the special chemistry that Rafi-Naushad shared is completely missing. If Hemant had sung the song in the film, it would not have been so successful.

Kind Regards

Version songs were recorded after a song becomes a super hit and
HMV wants to make more money of it. There is no question that
Naushad was going to use only Rafi's version. I mean Dillip Kumar is
the star and Hemant Kumar was not going to sing for Dillip.
So this speculation is quite out of place.

Here is the song...Yeh kooche yeh neelam . Although Rafi made the song a landmark, Manna Da gave his heart out for the song..worth any collection. Courtesy this fabulous forum..

Mahesh,

Thanks a lot for uploading these version songs. Gives a very good idea of how they would have been if sung by different singers. While Hemant has done a good job, we have got used to listen to the Talat version which definitely is excellent - Rajan.

Thanks for these songs.

Any information regarding how these version songs come to be recorded? Were they recorded for the movies and then never used or did they come out later?

Thanks,
Frangipani

HMV started making these versions of popular songs, but it was not followed by all the artists- Hemant, Mukesh,
Talat and Manna did cut some discs but later on they all decided it was not in the best interest of all the artists
and discontinued the practice.

as said by Khalid Mohd. for his dad singing Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
