Today is the Death Anniversary of India’s most versatile singer Mohammed Rafi saab. Thanks to his evergreen songs, we still feel his presence amongst us. In last so many years India has not produced a single singer of Rafi’s calibre. One can not just say that those times were different and there was hardly any competition to him.

Many interesting things which are not well known are mentioned in this book. I will try to describe a part of it, from Nutan’s early career, as I remember. Thanks to Lalita Tamhane-the copyright holder.

This is a song from film ‘Shair’ (1949). I am not sure if that is the correct name for this film. If the name is ‘Shaayar’ or ‘Shaayir’ than it will mean ‘the poet’. If it is ‘Shair’ than it is ‘a couplet’. Eight songs from this film have appeared in this blog. I was able to find only one Rafi song in this film which is luckily not posted.
