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 !

Kristin-ji:
I recommend you to listen to all SD Burman songs. He's given some of the best numbers to all the singers : Rafi, Kishore, Lata, Asha, Geeta Dutt, Hemant Kumar, etc. You will not be disappointed
Also listen to Rafi's songs with the music director duo of Shanker- Jaikishen during the same era of 1955 - 1970. Again, worth the effort

And of course, a HUGE thanks to Sri-ji for all the wonderful uploads at his 'rare' threads
