Yesterday Raja got me going on Geeta Dutt-Rafi duets after he sent me some statistics regarding Geeta Dutt songs in general and Geeta Dutt-Rafi duets in particular.

Talat Mehmood had sung most of his duet songs mainly with Suraiyya, Geeta Dutt, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle and Sudha Malhotra.

The song which comes to my mind in this context is ‘armaan bhare dil ki lagan tere liye hai’ from JAAN PEHCHAAN (1950).
