Archive for the ‘Songs of 1960s (1961 to 1970)’ Category
This is a category of songs that I heard in my younger days for a few times without being aware of any details and then I forgot all about it.

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 was neither aware of this movie called “Ye Dil Kisko Doon” (1963) nor this song from the movie. But the obscurity of this movie is easily explainable when you find out who the lead actor of this movie is. It is Shashi Kapoor- enough said. 😀

I regard Ravi as the creator of iconic songs. Whatever the occasion, one can have a few iconic songs from Ravi for the occasion. Ravi indeed has a few iconic Deewali songs under his belt, as can be expected.
