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's a Rafi song i like from the film Benazir 1964 - picturised on Shashi Kapoor.. with Tanuja and her saheli trying to peep into his room and listening to him singing

Music is by SDBurman ( RD fans may note - he was the assistant music director for this film - like he was, for many SDB movies of that period ). This also has the relatively rare combo of SDB's music with lyrics of Shakeel Badayuni


enjoy !

This song was requested by jam 27 in another thread

"Phir tumhari yaad aayi ae sanam, ae sanam, hum na bhoolenge tumhe allah kasam"

from the film Rustom Sohrab 1963 - music composed in his usual unique style, by the renowned and widely respected Sajjad Hussain, with lyrics by Jan Nisar Akhtar

The song has been sung by Rafi, Manna Dey and Sadat Khan - 5 mins long. In the verse, Manna sings first , then Sadat Khan and finally ... the great Rafi .. and boy! does he make his presence felt !!

enjoy !
