Kahin Din Kahin Raat (1968)
Here is an album where Rafi Saab didn't sing a single song for OP. OP had some difference of opinion with Rafi Saab during this time. Instead of going with his regular singer Rafi Saab, he had Mahdenra Kapoor sing in this movie. OP did utilize Mahendra's talents even before this, but this time Mahendra was singing in Rafi's place. Even though Mahendra is no Rafi, (for that matter not many sigers could scale the heights of versatility and longevity Rafi Saab exhibited in his professional singing career), he did a very good job here. OP and Rafi Saab patched up their differences later on as Rafi sang for OP in some of his later movies. There are eight songs in this album. I am able to upload only seven of them. I am missing one song. It is shown in red italics below. These songs came from various sources. Most of them from different CD collections. Others were contributed by the members of this Forum. The extended version of the song is same as the regular version except it is preceded by nearly 90 seconds of music. Now for the details of the songs and the songs themselves ...

Swarapriya
Many thanks for the songs and more importantly for the information about Vani ji. Its truly unfortunate that people does not know much about an artist who has sung over 10000 songs in various languages. My 2 cents on the music and Box Office fate of KKBK : A film with a name like that is rarely considered a musical. By 1978, OPN had lost the magic touch. And the film starring Asha Sachdev prpbably did not boast a great star cast as well. Please visit www.geetadutt.com

This highly accomplished singer recorded over 10,000 songs to her credit! Yet, with all the credentials she possesses, and with ample proof of singing so many songs in so many different languages, it appears that people hardly know much about her. True..Vani Jayaram certainly didnt get what she deserves. But one should say..that OPN's style of music needs a female voice with all the oomph...like Geeta and then Asha. As OPN once said, that lata didnt have the kind of voice he needs...which might be a lame excuse. Vani's voice resembles a sincere devout woman..or disciple for that matter. Strictly personal view. She had some wonderful songs in telugu...many of them for child artists..like that one Sankarabharanam where she was just fantastic. The only singer who was treated so shabbily would have to be Yesudas..he was never given his due. His was divine voice too.. ![]() The extended version of the song is same as the regular version except it is preceded by nearly 90 minutes of music. SP..a typo am sure. Seconds ?? Sorry for pointing it out..but i just love to read what ever you post as they are so well written and informative. hence the pointer..Sorry again. hope you wont mind. ![]() After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Part of the reason may be of her own chosing. She probably is a very private person. May be she prefers to stay that way. Cheers, Swarapriya |

I saw him in a concert once. His humility belies his talent rich career. If you are into his type of music, you are simply in awe. In one of the concerts Balasubrahmanyam (Balu) gave, he referred to Yesudas as his guru. That says something about both of them. Thanks for pointing out the error. I have corrected it now. You don't need to be sorry to point out something like this. Cheers, SP |

SP..Actually my bro and sil both went to Yesudas's concert in US. I should have been there...
![]() Hope I will catch a gimpse of him someday. He just overwhelms with what ever he sings... ![]() After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

You don't need to be sorry to point out something like this. Cheers, SP [/qpotentialuote] Well 'Yesudas' is simply divine.... Whenever I listen to his rendering of 'Mata Saraswati Sharada...' from Aalaap - I just cannot stop crying.... Even Lata Mangeshkar could not match him in her version of the song - but sadly the entire film world except, for Malayalam Film Industry have not tapped his talent. The latent problem with Bollywood is that they don’t seem to give importance to 'Bhava' aspect of singing as much as they give importance to all sorts of other technicalities of singing... Most probably it is due to influence of Hindustani Sangeet on Bollywood that stalwarts of Karnatak Sangeet like Vani Jayram & Yesudas get neglected in Bollywood. But I don’t have any complaints - as being a south Indian I can still enjoy Vani Jayram & Yesudas singing in Kannada / Tamil & Malayalam... ![]() |

The latent problem with Bollywood is that they don’t seem to give importance to 'Bhava' aspect of singing as much as they give importance to all sorts of other technicalities of singing... This probably explains why singers like Geeta ji, Hemantda did not get as much success. Both of them always sang with great feelings and great expressions catching the mood of the songs. Yet, the preference of the MDs were other singers with superior technicalities of singing! ![]() Parag Please visit www.geetadutt.com

Most probably it is due to influence of Hindustani Sangeet on Bollywood that stalwarts of Karnatak Sangeet like Vani Jayram & Yesudas get neglected in Bollywood. You've nailed on the problem by isolating it to "Bhava". It is worth pondering about. Thanks for some illuminating thoughts. Cheers, Swarapriya |
