Burman-Mohd. Rafi. R.D. Burman (also known as Panchamda to his many fans) was in my opinion a very versatile music director. He brought about a new trend and sound to film music. He was one of the greatest tune-smiths out of the second-generation composers of the Golden Era. His variety and music was excellent, he experimented with his compositions, and his songs have a lasting value. For me RD Burman is one of my Top favourite composers of all time. Pancham had a special place for Rafi saab in his repetoire and Rafi saab was his second most used male singer after Kishore Kumar. The RD-Rafi output is an important chapter in the history of HFM and they produced many golden melodies together. It was through Rafi saab that Pancham made a mark in the world of music and broke through into the big league of composers. Similar to the SJ-Rafi thread, this thread will not only be for songs, but also for trivia and any other snippets, articles etc. related to the RD-Rafi combination. Again, if you have any requests or anything you would like to add, feel free to do so here. I hope every Rafian enjoys the RD-Rafi combination as much as I do ! Prince Ali

I have another version of "Har Jalwa Tera Jalwa..." but the opening piece by Chandrashekar Gadgil is missing so its nice to get a version with that part. It is a very nice composition, I think it didn't receive as much credit as it deserves considering the film 'Harjaee' had other great gems as well. Also, I remember that list of RD-Rafi songs that you brought up from a long time ago. This next song is one of my absolute favourite RD-Rafi songs. RD showed remarkable courage in the way he handled this song. I think most composers with these types of lyrics would have turned it into a nice romantic mushy song but Pancham converted it into a fast-paced love ballad. The highlight of this song besides the excellent bongos is the electric guitar which leaves a great impression on the listener. Aye Jaan-e-Wafa Film: Chhalia Year: 1973 Lyrics: Rajinder Krishan Prince Ali
