So, moving diametrically opposite, from odd men out to male co-singer with whom Guru has sung the most in a jodi.....yes we are talking of Mohd. Rafi....KK and Rafi, two biggest ever vocal giants of hindi film music, have sung 70 songs together with 36 of them being true blue duets...i am sure, like me, thats a treat to music lovers...

Well, a lot has been talked about what all hathkandes were adopted by Rafi camp when Guru emerged like a pheonix in late sixties resurrecting his sagging bollywood career...with all that talk notwithstanding, the fact is that it was never like 'sleeping with the enemy' when it came either to these two giants singing together or to their mutual appreciation of each other...

Guru had gone on record saying that he was a big fan of Rafi and loved to listen to his songs...Rafi, on his part, had mentioned in an interview that amongst his contemporaries, Kishore Kumar sings very well and hamesha hi sur mein gaate hain....

Now this hamesha sur mein gaate hain is no mean achievement...the fact is that Guru never missed a sur while singing in his long career of forty years...even the most accompolished of the singers have found it difficult to not miss a sur or two while singing...even his own son, Amit Kumar, is known to have gone off key in some of the songs, not to talk of the lesser mortals of current genre...it may not be very easily noticeable to many, but the purists can pick up such gaffe....in a quick progression of different notes over a syllable or two, if one note gets missed, it might not be easy to detect it...

Hats off to both of them and fortunate were those, like me, who grew up on listening to their songs as they rolled out...

Here are four relatively rarer songs of Guru-Rafi combine (I am deliberately skipping here the common ones)...

(i) Bade Maze Se Guzar Jayegi-----Chor Sipahi 1977---Laxmikant Pyarelal----06:58@128 VBR
(ii) Yoon Na Sharma Phaila De-----Parwana 1971-----Madan Mohan-----08:18@128
(iii) Badi Rangeen Mehfil Hai, Tere Chehre Se Parda---Muqaddar 1978---Rajesh Roshan---06:22@128
(iv) O Kahan Chali, Rani Chhammak Chhallo----Love in Bombay 1975----Shankar Jaikishen---06:05@128

There was a list compiled of Guru – Rafi songs some time back. Not sure where that thread is. I wish that topic should have been pinned for reference

We can post all the lists in one thread and pin that thread. Suggestions/Ideas???

Much that I had resolved to make a quick temporary switch-over to jodies with female co-singers to avoid this thread getting typecast as a male jodi thread, I could not hold my self back from doing this piece about Guru and Manna Dey as a jodi….

Now Manna Dey is my favourite singer after Guru…for all his smooth and melodious voice…I wonder if there was ever any room from further improvement in songs like Tere Naina Talash Karen Jise from Talash or Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli fromAnand…(now don’t underestimate Guru here….for all you know he might have ended up singing this Anand song because this movie was conceptualised by Hrishikesh Mukherjee with Guru playing the Rajesh Khanna role…it is a well known story now as to how Guru, who did not want to act in this movie, turned up to sets with head shaven…and Hrishikesh da took little time to dump him off from the movie and so did the chance to sing its songs even though all the Rajesh Khanna’s songs were generally being sung by Guru those days)….i am sure though that Guru would have done an equally wonderful job on this Anand song….this is purely my views and no debate here please…all are welcome to have their own independent views and perceptions…after all it is different people, different views, different thinking is what makes this world rangeen….imagine all people being same in their views and thinking…we would have been like a kafila of mice behind the pied piper…

Manna Dey, in his own account, has said how mesmerised he was with Guru’s talent….he kept getting surprised everytime he underestimated Guru, who never failed to come up with a trump card through his sleeves….and that too mostly in the domain so well reigned by Manna Dey, that is classical singing….right from Fareb 1953 where Guru came up with complete master piece of the song Husn Bhi Hain Udaas Udaas, which originally was slated to be sung by Manna Dey (who was shocked at MD Anil Biswas’s last minute choice of Guru for it was a classical song)….

Manna Dey, who wasn’t supposedly happy at the prospect of losing out in the movie to Guru in the Padosan song Ek Chatur Naar and needed to be worked upon to agree to sing alongside Guru…was quite excited finally before the rehearsals because he knew he would be able to overshadow Guru in his own backyard….but to Manna Dey’s credit here…he was absolutely mesmerised when Guru came up with his part of singing in the song…Manna Dey himself acknowledged that it was Guru who really read the situation in the movie so well and he brought a completely new life to the song…..he couldn’t but exclaim ‘what a real genious’….now that was the hallmark of Guru….to temper the song as per the situation…

We don’t have much of Guru’s account of Manna Dey…but definitely Guru would have been equally mesmerised by Manna Dey’s finesse….such a class act he is after all…I am sure both of them were part of “mutual appreciation club”….so worthy of this appreciation by all counts…

Guru and Manna Dey have sung a good number of songs together, some 37 of them…there are popular ones from this jodi like, Ye Dosti Hum Nahin Todenge, Uljhan Hazaar Koi Daale (with Asha), Babu Samjho Ishaare, Aankhon Se Aankhon Ka Tu Jaam Liye Ja et al, which everyone loves including me…but here are three of the other songs which have both the jewels shining to glory just the same….

(i) Mere Pyale Mein Sharaab Daal De----Amir Garib 1974---MD Laxmikant Pyarelal
(ii) O Parwane O Deewane-----Zalim 1979-----MD Laxmikant Pyarelal
(iii) Hum To Hain Darshan Abhilashi---Trimurti 1974----MD RD Burman

Guru and Manna Dey have sung a good number of songs together, some 37 of them…there are popular ones from this jodi like, Ye Dosti Hum Nahin Todenge, Uljhan Hazaar Koi Daale (with Asha), Babu Samjho Ishaare, Aankhon Se Aankhon Ka Tu Jaam Liye Ja et al, which everyone loves including me…but here are three of the other songs which have both the jewels shining to glory just the same….

(i) Mere Pyale Mein Sharaab Daal De----Amir Garib 1974---MD Laxmikant Pyarelal
(ii) O Parwane O Deewane-----Zalim 1979-----MD Laxmikant Pyarelal
(iii) Hum To Hain Darshan Abhilashi---Trimurti 1974----MD RD Burman

Much that I had resolved to make a quick temporary switch-over to jodies with female co-singers to avoid this thread getting typecast as a male jodi thread, I could not hold my self back from doing this piece about Guru and Manna Dey as a jodi….

Now Manna Dey is my favourite singer after Guru…for all his smooth and melodious voice…I wonder if there was ever any room from further improvement in songs like Tere Naina Talash Karen Jise from Talash or Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli fromAnand…(now don’t underestimate Guru here….for all you know he might have ended up singing this Anand song because this movie was conceptualised by Hrishikesh Mukherjee with Guru playing the Rajesh Khanna role…it is a well known story now as to how Guru, who did not want to act in this movie, turned up to sets with head shaven…and Hrishikesh da took little time to dump him off from the movie and so did the chance to sing its songs even though all the Rajesh Khanna’s songs were generally being sung by Guru those days)….i am sure though that Guru would have done an equally wonderful job on this Anand song….this is purely my views and no debate here please…all are welcome to have their own independent views and perceptions…after all it is different people, different views, different thinking is what makes this world rangeen….imagine all people being same in their views and thinking…we would have been like a kafila of mice behind the pied piper…

Manna Dey, in his own account, has said how mesmerised he was with Guru’s talent….he kept getting surprised everytime he underestimated Guru, who never failed to come up with a trump card through his sleeves….and that too mostly in the domain so well reigned by Manna Dey, that is classical singing….right from Fareb 1953 where Guru came up with complete master piece of the song Husn Bhi Hain Udaas Udaas, which originally was slated to be sung by Manna Dey (who was shocked at MD Anil Biswas’s last minute choice of Guru for it was a classical song)….

Manna Dey, who wasn’t supposedly happy at the prospect of losing out in the movie to Guru in the Padosan song Ek Chatur Naar and needed to be worked upon to agree to sing alongside Guru…was quite excited finally before the rehearsals because he knew he would be able to overshadow Guru in his own backyard….but to Manna Dey’s credit here…he was absolutely mesmerised when Guru came up with his part of singing in the song…Manna Dey himself acknowledged that it was Guru who really read the situation in the movie so well and he brought a completely new life to the song…..he couldn’t but exclaim ‘what a real genious’….now that was the hallmark of Guru….to temper the song as per the situation…

Well SKS,

I want to bring in a piece of relevant info that i have seen..

You know this Shekhar who does "walk the talk" on the tv?

one of his shows with Manna dey,manna did not give any good impression about Guuruji when he was asked about kk

He did say that it was very easy to sing like Kishore and even body language demonstarted that he dint think high of KK when he said that.!!!

I was surprised.!!!

GF

GF, now this is quite a contrary info....wonder why he did that....because the two had got along well was quite well known....and what i have mentioned is what has been said by Manna Dey himself....

Now is it that Manna Dey had an off day during the show you talked about....or is this all about "games people play"???....

I have all the three songs that i had mentioned..but i am not able to upload them for some strange reasons....it starts uploading, the progress creeps to the fullest extent and then it just goes to cannot find server....tried several times but failed...anyways will upload them once the system permits....one thing for sure....telecom network and tariff are the best in our Mother India....
