The number of memorable songs picturised on Shammi Kapoor runs into hundreds. Many of these songs have already been discussed in this blog. The remaining Shammi Kapoor songs too will find their way in this blog with time, I am sure.

The shock of news was too much to digest yesterday. I was browsing this blog, when Nahm Bhai’s brief message appeared in the comments. I couldn’t believe. Just very recently, I had read an interview in the newspapers. And the Yahoo-man seemed to be set to go on forever. Age seemed never to have touched his spirit. A childhood idol for me, he is the Prince, the true Prince of the clan, and will always remain thus for me.

This is the typical Shammi Kapoor fun and exuberance solo. In many of his successful movies, one will find a solo song, sung by Rafi, almost within the first 10 or 15 minutes of the movie, “Jawaanian Ye Mast Mast Bin Piye” from Tumsa Nahin Dekha, “Kisi Na Kisi Se Kabhi Na Kabhi” from Kashmir Ki Kali, “Dil Deke Dekho, Dil Deke Dekho” from Dil Deke Dekho, “Laal Chhadi Maidaan Khadi” from Jaanwar, “Aji Aisa Mauka Phir Kahaan Milega” from An Evening In Paris, and so on. It used to be like making a dynamic musical entry. 🙂 Such songs used to be the staple diet of pre teen boys like me. I would listen to a Shammi Kapoor song like this only once, and it would be committed to memory. And I used to be very much in demand at the family gatherings and birthday parties, to perform these songs. (Wow, I used to do that? What fun!!)

After a long time, here is another song of the much loved genre- viz a Rafi -Shammi Kapoor song. This song is from “Prince” (1969) which is one of the last Shammi Kapoor style movies after which the days of Shammi Kapoor movies was over. It was good while lasted.And these movies continue to enthrall the movie watchers even today.

I have not counted the number of songs sung by Rafi for Shammi Kapoor, but it is high time I did that. There are so many of them, and it is amazing how Rafi could summon so much energy and enthusiasm every single time he had to sing a song for Shammi Kapoor. Just about everyone of these songs are gems, that have stood the test of time.

I have posted as many as seven songs from “Kashmir Ki Kali” (1964) and one may be excused for assuming that there may not be any more songs left to be posted from this movie. But then one would underestimate the calibre of music directors of those era, if one made such an assumption.

Nazar bachaa kar chale gaye wo

I have not kept a count of it, but I think I have posted songs from most Shammi Kapoor movies in this blog. Considering that Shammi Kapoor came into his own in 1957 with “Tumsa Nahin Dekhaa” (1957) and continued till late 1960s with the kind of movies with he is identified, he may have worked in about 20 odd typically Shammi Kapoor movies. I have posted songs from almost all these movies, in addition to posting songs from other Shammi Kapoor movies where he played other kinds of roles.
