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
Faraaj

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..


yeh kooche yeh neelam

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

Request to upload the following version songs again:

mera jeevan sathi bichud gaya-hemant kumar-shakeel-192kbps/3.20
mohabbat choome jinke haath-hemant-shakeel-naushad-3.23,
ek aurat[1948]-so ja so ja ,ae beqarare dil.

Dear Erumji,

Here are 2 out 3 from your requests :

Mera Jeevan Saathi Bichhud Gaya
Movie : Babul
Year : 1950

Frangipani

cinemaniac2 is right. Basically, there was a window of a few years (late 40s - mid 50s) where when the record was released, renditions of popular songs from the film (by other singers) were also added as a bonus to increase sales. I don't think you'll find a single version (including Ye Kooche Ye Neelam) which is as well sung as the original. The MD composed with a specific singers vocal talents in mind and the audience identified the song with the film/actor and the associated singer so the pitch was heavily against the version song. Probably that is the reason for the discontinuance.....

But the handful of versions in circulation are interesting to hear nonetheless.....

Kind Regards & Happy New Year (I'm flying out on vacation in exactly 7 hours!)

Thanks CM2 and Faraaj for the clarifications. Now I understand why these are rare to find too.

Have a great vacation Faraaj, see you in the new year then.
