The 7th song in the series ” Vintage Kishore ” is from film Rangilee-52.
It is an unique song and was a novelty in those days because then such things were not even imagined. This is the First song of Kishore in which he sang in two voices-male and Female. I said ‘First’ because Kishore did this feat once more in the film ” Half Ticket”-1962 wherein he sang Aake seedhi lagi in male and female voices. This ‘Half ticket’ song was posted on this Blog on 8-2-2009. Under the comments of this song I found a comment from Lalitha ji wherein she did mention about an earlier similar song by Kishore. Unfortunately she could not state the film name or the mukhda of the song. Except for this mention,I have not come across anyone who knew about Kishore’s earlier similar song.

Today, December 24th, 2013 is 89th birth anniversary of Mohammed Rafi. This blog has a wealth of information on Mohammed Rafi. So I will be brief on his early life and confine myself to few points which have some relevance to the song I am presenting here. Suffice to say that Rafi was a great singer in making since childhood. At the age of 10, he started singing sufi songs immediately after hearing from a faqir who used to pass through the by-lanes of his residence every day. Rafi would follow him and sing with him. That was his beginning of his interest in singing. At the age of 13, he sang in front of a restless audience who had come to hear K L Saigal and enthralled them. At the age of 16, he did his first playback singing for a Punjabi film ‘Gul Bloach’ (1940). I am reminded of a colloquial Hindi proverb which I heard for the first time during my school days – ‘honhaar birwaan ko hot hai chikne paat’ (coming events cast their shadows before). This proverb proved right in the case of Mohammed Rafi became a legendary playback singer in Hindi films.

Divas of Hindi film music (19) :
—————————————
Kajra muhabbat waala ankhiyon mein aisa daala,
Reshmi salwaar kurta jaali kaa,
Sharma ke ye kyun parda nasheen
This is the famous Jodi of female singers known for their duets which are popular. They are the venerable Asha Bhonsle and the inmitable Shamshad Begum. When I chanced upon this duet by them from the movie “Chaubees Ghante” (1958), I thought this would be a good inclusion in the series.
