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 !

Thanks a lot for this song. Really a nice one. Perfect match of Rafi and S.D. Burman whose songs in my opinion are very difficult to sing.
By the way, as a non Indian, I liked the songs of S. D. Burman. He apparently has a unique style.

Is it possible to upload more S.D. Burman songs sung by magic sound Rafi?

Best regards,
Kistin
