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 !

Sriji, Mr. Kistin being from Turkey, may not have much idea about the hindi movie songs. What is morel amzing is that he likes the older hindi movie songs. Of course the period till 1970 is considered as the golden era for hindi music.

For benefit of Mr. Kistin....the maximum number of songs of Rafi and SD Barman combination were picturised on the evergreen Dev Anand Saab
Who can forget the songs of Tere Ghar Ke Saamne, Guide, Kala Pani, Kala Bazaar
and many more movies of these stalwarts?

your mail sparked off all those lovely songs in my mind ... and i felt like writing down all the well known numbers that came to my mind - from various SDBurman films over the years. I stopped at 1970 ... because after that, it was mostly Kishore Kumar all the way with SDBurman ( maybe with the exception of Abhimaan) !

There are so many lovely numbers ... but if I had to pick only one, specific consistently great period - then, that Rafi-SDB golden period (in my view) would be between 1963 and 1965 ... which saw the release of the movies Tere ghar ke saamne, Meri surat teri aankhen, Guide and Teen Devian. Such great music in such a short span of time ...despite the fact that during this same period SDBurman was laid low with a heart problem ... and could not take up more work !!

Anyway, here is the list of songs ( that came to my mind ).. there may be some others which I may have missed. Pl feel free to add. Anyone.
