Rekha's Ultimate Tribute To Rafi Saab!!, Din Dhal Jaaye Haaye, Raat Na Jaaye Options

[venkat]

Friends,

This morning, I was flipping through channels on my TV and suddenly was agape, listening to Rekha singing in her own voice the divine Rafi solo, "Din Dhal Jaaye Haaye Raat Na Jaaye" originally from Film:Guide-1965.

I went on listening to her complete rendition. She had sung the Maestro's song fairly well! I knew the other dimensions, but never knew this musical 'dimension' of the controversial Rekha!!

Later, I found that it is in a 2006 Film called "Kudiyon Ka Zamana Hai".

Even later, I found that she told Times News, after that 2006 recording, that Rafi Saab is her great favorite singer and that none can sing like Rafi.

I am uploading here this very interesting Rekha version of 04:34 duration.

Friends,

How about converting this topic into "Rafi Songs Sung By Others In Hindi And Other Films"? It should be great fun discussing it.

To start the ball rolling, I know one hilarious comedy Film:Biwi O Biwi(1981), produced under RK banner, starring Randheer Kapoor, Sanjeev Kumar, Poonam Dhillon, etc.

In this Film, in one situation, Rajendra Nath keeps chasing Randheer Kapoor up and down the stairs of a tall building. While chasing, Rajendra Nath keeps frequently bumping into a comical Rishi Kapoor wearing Kurta/Pajama and chewing paan.

This Rishi Kapoor keeps singing in his own voice the famous semi-classical of Rafi Saab from Kohinoor(1960), "Madhuban Mein Radhika Naachhe Re"! And whenever Rajendra Nath bumps into him, he starts the song's comical Aalaap (picturised on Mukri in the original Kohinoor!)!!
