Reasonably Rare Rafi Songs - Not Available Easily, rare solos & duets from the 50s and 60s Options

[sri]

Starting this topic to discuss some not so easily available songs featuring Mohd. Rafi - from the 1950s and 60s

Please feel free to add songs which you like.

Here's one song I found in the film 'Akeli mat jaiyo' 1963 where Rafi partners Asha Bhosle - they sing for Agha and Minoo Mumtaz respectively. The movie stars Rajendra Kumar and Meena Kumari, has music by Madan Mohan ( a few pretty good songs ) and lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri. This song is a typical, humorous type, romantic song between the two sidekicks in the movie.

Enjoy !

Here is a very cute song from the film Detective ( 1958 ) - 'Kal talak hum theek tha, aaj hamen kya ho gaya'.

The song is sung by Mohd. Rafi and Geeta Dutt - both have sung so well. Rafi with his usual breezy style of singing these kind of light songs ... and Geeta has done a special job - after all, the music was composed by her own brother ( Mukul Roy )!! Remember, Geeta Dutt was Geeta Roy before she married Guru Dutt.

Mukul Roy did a good job in this movie ... there's another well known song - "Mujhko tum jo mile, yeh jahaan mil gaya" - sung by Hemant and Geeta; and one more which is inspired from the tune of Jamaican farewell 1955 (made famous by the calypso singer Harry Belafonte) - this song is 'do chamakte aankhon mein kal khwab sunehra tha jitna' ..... but Mukul Roy composed music for just 3 or 4 films, to the best of my knowledge.

You all will like this cute number, certainly.

Enjoy !
