(Asha) Love in Tokyo (1966)

Another dear favorite of mine is Rafi Saab's solo, "Aaja Re Aa Zara Aa". Youthful and bubbly exuberance spills all over from the rich voice of Rafi Saab and the song at once becomes very endearing. Rafi Saab, songs like these and thousands of others you put your heart into in singing with so much emotion, no wonder made you one of our greatest singers of our times. Love it. Forever.

I will upload these songs in two back-to-back postings. Here is the first set ...

This is an album of the millenium, beautiful songs, unbelivable singing and what can one say about Rafisaab;s voice, his singing, simply unmatched. O mere Shah e Kubaan, a song no mortal voice could even achieve 10% of what Rafisaab has. Well this is true for thousands of songs of the emperor of singing.
Muje tum milgaye humdum is all time fac Lata song.

Dear SS, you're echoing my sentiments too. Cheers. -S

(Hema) Jugnu (1973)

This is another winner from ever dependable Burmanda. It has that beautiful duet "Gir Gaya Jhumka" and that intoxicating solo "Jaane Kya Pilaaya". These and other songs from the original sound track album follow ...

(Mala) Ujala (1959)

Shankar & Jaikishan gave music to more films of Shammi Kapoor than Raj Kapoor's. Thanks to S&J, with their youthful and exuberant music, most of these Shammi's films were huge hits. This film was an early collaboration between Shammi & S&J. Rafi did not settle down as the playback voice of Shammi yet. Per Shammi's own statement in an interview with a journalist, the brilliant music director duo settled down later for Rafi to be as Shammi's playback voice. In this album both Manna as well as Mukesh lent their voices for Shammi, and they do so magnificently.

This album is another great musical. Every song is racy and bubbly. It must be either Shammi or S&J or all of them that even Lata gets into the mood with some spritely solos with "O Mera Nadan Balma" and "Tera Jalwa Jisne Dekha". Manna's both solos are fabulous. The duet "Jhoomta Mausam" sets the tone for rest of the songs for this unforgettable album.

Here are the songs from this classic album, all from the original sound track album ...

Dear SP,

Thanks for the wonderful UJALA album.
Ever since I saw this film, in the mid-80s, it has been a perennial favourite.
Especially, 'Jhoomtha...' must rate as one of the most rollicking songs that Lata must have sung in her career.
Best regards,
suresh

Thanks for the comment Suresh.

I see you live in Chile. The current devastating earthquake, and the continued after shocks, hope didn't do any harm to you and your near and dear ones. It was such a monumental human tragedy. Such enormous losses. So much of devastation and tragedy.

I am happy to see that you are here amongst us and able to correspond. Please take care.

Cheers,
Swarapriya

(Nutan) Manzil (1960)

Here is another top album from Burmanda. In this every song is an utter delight. Several beautiful solos including Hematda's chartbuster "Yaad Aa Gayi" and three beautiful duets. Two of these duets are especially very appealing; "Aye Kaash Chalte Milke" and "Chupke Se Mile". The extended version of the latter song is by the courtesy of the Forum member Sukesh Hoogan. Thank you very much Sukeshji. Rest of the songs are all from the original sound track album.
