mere saathi
meri awaaz ke peechhe

chale aao
chale aao
chale. . . aao

 

Kaash, ye awaaz phir se live sunaai de, to kahin tak bhi chal ke jaane ko jee karta hai.
(Wish this voice could be heard live again, the heart would want to follow it, wherever.)

Mohammed Rafi – ‘अ’  से  ‘ह’ तक  (From ‘अ’ to ‘ह’) – 1
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

‘अ’

Celebrating another year without Rafi Sb, celebrating another anniversary of this peerless artist. And more than anything else, celebrating another year of endless memories and ruminations.  God does not duplicate, they say. And so, for us listeners, memories is all that is there to live by.

Missing Films of 1960s – 11

I am supposed to be moving ahead from ‘Mall Road’ (1962), the previous post in this series. But no. Today, I return to another earlier movie that was missing, but now is no longer missing.  I bring a song from a rare film ‘Bapu Ne Kaha Tha’.

Missing Films of 1960s – 10

Mall Road, for me, is connected with wonderful sweet memories of my childhood.  As it is, Mall Road is there in many cities, here in India and also outside India.  But in India, and more so in my mind, the mention of this word is almost always connected with Simla.

The next film from 1962 that we introduce today is ‘Kaala Chashma’.  Oh well, with a name like this, frankly, if I had been in a movie going age in that era, even I would had steered clear of this one.  Not fair, I know, but the acumen to make such educated decisions is coming on now, after years of listening to Hindi film music, and getting a penchant for searching for lost songs.  At any other time in the past, I would have not paid any attention to film.  Especially after knowing that the lead actors are Manju and Amarnath. Rather the response would have been – Manju and Amarnath, who??

Fabulous Foot Tappers – 6
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Goodness, more than 5 months since the last post in this series.  Starting in April, it was keeping a slow but regular pace till July, and then. . .

Anyways, back to one of my favorite genres – songs with a wonderful melody and a foot tapping beat that simply makes them irresistible hummers. One listens, and the mind simply wants to continue humming them, over and over again.  There are many such songs, and practically all of them are popular and well known. The thing that I am trying with this series is to locate the unfamiliar and less heard gems of this category, which have remained anonymous, mostly for the reason that they are from films that either did not get released, or films that remained obscure and unheard of themselves.

Missing Films of 1960s – 8

I am really incensed. Generally that does not happen easily, but today it has. Going thru the list of un-represented films from 1960s, the next target film for me was ‘Hawa Mahal’. I already looked for the 78 rpm records of this film, and have drawn a blank. From more than one source, I was informed that no records were manufactured for this film. Disappointing as this information was in itself, I was concerned, but not too much. Because I knew that I have this film with me on disk. So when the time came to prepare a post for the film ‘Hawa Mahal’, I took out video file of the film, with the intent of listening to the songs and to prepare a upload version of one of them.

Missing Films of 1960s – 7

As we are moving into the 1960s, exploring for the films that are yet to be showcased on our blog, I have already introduced 4 films from 1961 and then I had moved into 1962, adding 2 films for that year.  But with today’s post, I revert back to 1961. Clearly, there is one more film from 1961 that I missed. The film is ‘Zamaana Badal Gaya’. Its songs are available, and had not yet been introduced here.  An oversight on my part.

So the experience repeats itself yet once again. Search and locate, and listen, as many songs as you may.  There still will be many more songs that will surprise you. This song is coming based on a request from a far away land. A friend and visitor on the blog from West Indies, the name of the gentleman is Ramdass, has requested to locate this song, and to post it.
