Friends,
I am starting this thread to share gems from the Shankar Jaikishan - Mohd. Rafi combo which was truly one of the most outstanding and special combinations ever in the history of HFM. Along with the songs, I will also upload bits and pieces of info from interviews, articles etc. about this great partnership. If any of you have any SJ-Rafi gems that you would like to share, or any other info, thoughts, opinions, requests etc. on SJ-Rafi, please feel free to share them here as well. Rafi saab and SJ both started their careers around the same time and both reached the greatest heights of success together. The combination produced so many wonderful melodies and a mind boggling variety for over two decades. First gem is one of the earliest Lata-Rafi duets composed by SJ. There is another version sung separately by Lata. Nai Zindagi Se Pyar - (with Lata Mangeshkar) Film: Shikast Year: 1953 Lyrics: Shailendra Attached image(s)

We never overlooked Rafi Miyan's advice. This is the reason why whenever I had an argument with Jaikishan on the suitability of the tunes for any song, Rafi Miyan was the only person whom we both used
to accept as the judge. On whichever tune he used to put his seal of approval, we used to accept the same without any hesitation. He was a versatile singer and was completely at ease while singing. There was no question of any tension; he kept on smiling while singing. Sometimes, he even used to tease us. We decided to insert the sexy voice of a female in one of the songs of Aman "Aaj Ki Raat Yeh Kaisi Raat..." When we told him about this, mischievously he exclaimed "Wow, there is a girl too (in this song) ? There you are; this will create proper mood for the song now !" - Shankar Recordist Minoo Katrak, Jaikishan, Suman Kalyanpur, Hasrat and Rafi saab. Attached image(s)
